The Gave d'Aspe 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 formed in the Aspe Circus, below the Aspe peak, elevation 2,643 metres (8,671 ft), in Spain.
After joining the Gave d'Ossau, in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, it forms the Gave d'Oloron.
