Asaluyeh (Persian: عسلويه)[a] is a city in the Central District of Asaluyeh County, Bushehr province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district. It also serves as the administrative center for Asaluyeh Rural District.[4]

The 2006 census recorded the population at 4,746 in 875 households, when it was in the former Asaluyeh District of Kangan County.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 7,884 people in 1,709 households.[6] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Asaluyeh County.[4] The census in 2016 showed a population of 13,557 people in 3,324 households,[2][4]

On the shore of the Persian Gulf some 270 km SE of the provincial capital of Bushehr, it is best known as the site for the land based facilities of the huge PSEEZ (Pars Special Energy Economic Zone) project. The city itself is of minor significance, although it is common practice to refer to PSEEZ (established 1998) and Asaluyeh town collectively as Asaluyeh.

Asaluyeh was chosen as the site of the PSEEZ facilities due to it being the closest land point to the largest natural gas field in the world, the South Pars / North Dome Gas-Condensate field. In addition, an existing airport and direct access to international waters via a deep water port were already present.[7]
