Asch is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Buren, and lies about 9 km northwest of Tiel.

It was first mentioned in 889 as Alke. The etymology is unclear.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/asch |title=Asch - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=21 March 2022 |language=nl}} In 1335, there was a chapel in Asch. Around 1518, a church was built. In 1820, Asch was flooded, and the church was abandoned in favour of neighbouring Buren. In 1823, the tower was demolished, and the church was turned into a shelter for high water. In 1839, a new church constructed. In 1840, it was home to 1840 people.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/asch |title=Asch |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=21 March 2022 |language=nl}}
