Anastasia Nikolaevna von Gerzfeld ({{langx|ru|Анастасия Николаевна Герцфельд}}, sometimes transliterated as Anastassia von Hertzfeld; 16 February 1912 – 27 January 1998), known professionally as Assia Noris, was a Russian-Italian film actress.

Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Noris appeared in over 35 films between 1932 and 1965, such as the Mario Mattoli 1936 film The Man Who Smiles. She also made several appearances alongside Vittorio De Sica when he was a young actor and took part in a number of films directed by her later husband Mario Camerini, including Il signor Max (1937). She was previously married to film director Roberto Rossellini.
