Aadshit al-Qusayr, or simply Aadshit (ar|عدشيت), is a municipality in the Marjayoun District in South Lebanon.
According to E. H. Palmer, the name Atshis comes from a personal name.[1]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "a small village, built of mud and stone, containing about 100 Metawileh, situated on a low ridge surrounded by small gardens and olives. The water supply is from four rock-cut cisterns."[2]
In 2014 Muslims made up 99.71% of registered voters in Aadshit. 98.84% of the voters were Shiite Muslims.[3]
