Blacasset, Blacassetz, Blacssetz, or Blachessetz (fl. 1233&ndash;1242) was a Provençal troubadour of the noble family of the Blacas, lords of Aulps, in the Empire.

Eleven of his works survive, three sirventes, four cansos, and four coblas, including one single-stanza canso with a melody in F major, ''. This song was appended to a manuscript of the chansonnier du roi of Theobald I of Navarre in the early fourteenth-century. Among his other works are: , a tenso with Guilhem de Montanhagol in the trobar clus style about a lady, Guiza (Gauzeranda) de Lunel , a sirventes he wrote for the conte de Proensa'' (count of Provence) ' '
