The Jasoru Republic or Iasoru Republic was an ancient republic which existed in the territory of present-day Croatia, in the area around present-day town of Daruvar, in the 2nd century. The inscription founded in the ruins of ancient Roman bath near Daruvar indicate that republic existed in the time of Roman emperor Commodus (180-192). The inscription say:

• DIVO LUC AUREL
• COMMODO CAES
• PATRI PATRIAE
• HAS THERMAS
• DEDICA VIT
• RESPUBLIK IASORU

Another inscription founded in the area say:

• THERMAE
• IASORVENSES H C

The republic probably belonged to the Jazyges, an ancient nation that inhabited the region, although the relationship between Jasoru Republic and Roman Empire is not clear. It is thought that the capital of the republic was city named Jasora, which was located near present-day Daruvar.
