Trefasser (variations: Tref-Asser, or Trêf Asser, or Asserton; translation: "town" of "Asser")[1][2][3] is a hamlet, located to the west of Fishguard in western Wales. Historically, it is part of the parish of Llanwnda. It lies on the coast of St George's Channel[2] within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. A stream named Cledde Goch runs close by.[4]

Trefasser's farms, houses and cottages are the only settled area of Pen Caer.[5] David Tress has painted the place in an abstract painting.
