The Gave d'Aspe (pronounced as /fr/) is a torrential river flowing through the Aspe Valley, one of the three main valleys of the High-Béarn (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the southwest of France. It is 58.1km (36.1miles) long.

It is formed in the Aspe Cirque, below the Aspe peak, elevation 2643m (8,671feet), in Spain.

After joining the Gave d'Ossau, in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, it forms the Gave d'Oloron.
