Ashibetsu (Japanese: 芦別市, Hepburn: Ashibetsu-shi; Japanese pronunciation: [a.ɕiꜜ.be.tsɯ, -ɕi.be.tsɯ̥ꜜ.ɕi, -beꜜ.tsɯ̥.ɕi], locally [aꜜ.ɕi.be.tsɯ]) is a city located in Sorachi Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan.
As of 1 October 2020, the city had an estimated population of 12,555 and a density of 15 persons per km2. The total area is 865.02 km2.
Ashibetsu was once a prosperous coal mining city, its population exceeding 70,000 at its peak, but its population has fallen since the closing of the coal mines.
Ashibetsu is in the northern part of Yūbari Mountains. Mount Ashibetsu is south of the city.
There are two theories about the origin of "Ashibetsu". In both theories the name means Ashibetsu River, which flows through the city.
