Aesch (sometimes written as Aesch BL in order to distinguish it from other "Aesches"; Swiss German: Ääsch) is a village (though it is statistically a town) and a municipality in the canton of Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland. Almost all of its area is located on the left, western bank of the Birs and is a suburb of Basel.
The Neolithic gravesite in the Gmeiniwald is listed as a heritage site of national significance.
