thumb|260px|An harri-jasotzailea lifting a stone. Harri-jasotzeaileak (), or harri-jasotzea, refers to a popular rural sport in the Basque Country (northern Spain) in which stones of various shapes and sizes must be lifted off the ground and onto the shoulder.
The name is built on the Basque root harri "stone", the verb jaso "to lift", the agentive suffix -tzaile and the plural ending -ak, so literally "stone lifters". The sports activity is properly known as harri-jasotzea "stone lifting". In Spanish it is called levantamiento de piedra (stone lifting) and in French the sport is called leveurs de pierres.
