Askome () is a village and former parish in Falkenberg Municipality, Halland County.
==Geography and geology== Askome is situated at the eastern bank of the river Ätran. The parish had an area of 32.82 km2, of which 31.16 km2 was land. The parish was delimited by the river to then north and the west, except for a small area that used to be an ait. The island belonged to Ljungby, and still does so, even though it is now on the "wrong" side of the river. The parish bordered Vessige in the south and Gällared and Krogsered in the north and north east. The cultivated land is mainly along river Ätran and downstream Ätrafors, while the remainder is forested.
