Overasselt is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Heumen.

== History == The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Asle, and means "upper open forest with ash (Fraxinus excelsior) trees". "Over" (upper) has been added to distinguish it from Nederasselt. Overasselt developed in the Early Middle Ages on a ridge. The village used to be concentrated around the former Dutch Reformed church.
