The Gave d'Aspe (French pronunciation: [ɡav dasp]) is a torrential river flowing through the Aspe Valley, one of the three main valleys of the High-Béarn (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the southwest of France. It is 58.1 km (36.1 mi) long.[1]

It is formed in the Aspe Cirque, below the Aspe peak, elevation 2,643 metres (8,671 ft), in Spain.

After joining the Gave d'Ossau, in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, it forms the Gave d'Oloron.
