Askern is a town in South Yorkshire, in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster, England. It is on the A19 between Doncaster and Selby. It became a spa town in the late 19th century, but this stopped once coal mines opened in the town. The last mine closed in the 1990s.

Askern is also well-known in South Yorkshire for its Greyhound racing stadium.
