Asperg () is a town in the district of Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
==History== thumbnail|left|350px|Romani people|Romani civilians in Asperg rounded up for deportation by the Nazi authorities on 22 May 1940, as part of the [[Romani genocide.]] Asperg was established by the County Palatine of Tübingen, whose ruling house had a cadet named Asperg, around a preexisting castle. The town and castle were sold to the County of Württemberg in 1308, who granted Asperg town rights. In 1510, Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg gave Asperg Tübingen's town charter, and the town retained it until 1715.
