Tayasir (, also spelled Tiaseer) is a Palestinian village in the Tubas Governorate of the Palestinian Authority, in the northern West Bank. It is located 3 kilometers northeast of Tubas and 22 kilometers northeast of Nablus. Nearby localities include al-Aqabah to the east, al-Bikai'a to the northeast, Salhab to the north, 'Aqqaba to the west and ath-Thaghra to the southwest.

==History== Settlement in Tayasir is believed to date back to the Canaanite era in Palestine. The name may come from the Canaanite word Asheer meaning "pleasure" or "happiness". Archaeological remains in the village include an Ancient Roman palace, an olive press, several grottoes and an old mosque. Pottery remains have been unearthed from the Middle Bronze Age, IA, early and late Roman period. An ancient road passed through the village. It appears to have been called Asher by the Bordeaux Pilgrim, in 333–334 CE.
