The Jaszowiec is a right tributary of the Vistula in the Silesian Beskids, 3.3 kilometers in length. The river has its source on the western slopes of the Równica and Orłowa and flows east. It flows through the Polana district of Ustroń before flowing into the Vistula.

His name comes from the first name Jaś (German: Hans ). Probably one of the first settlers in his valley called himself that.
