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".

The village used to be concentrated around the former Dutch Reformed church.
