Iasmos (Greek: Ίασμος; Turkish: Yassiköy) is a municipality in the Rhodope Prefecture of Thrace, Greece. Population 6,614 (2001).
It is built on the side of the Rhodope Mountains. Although references about the village date back to the 16th Century, it is likely that those references are about the old location of the village, a few kilometres west of the current position. The actual date that the inhabitands settled in the current place varries between late 1700 and no later than 1814 (This date is inscribed on the wall of the oldest built church in the village).
