Åsnes is a municipality in Hedmark county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Solør. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Flisa, which is also the largest town in the municipality with around 2,100 people.
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Åsnes farm (Old Norse: Ásnes), since the first church was built here. The first element is áss which means “mountain ridge” and the last element is Nes which means “headland”. (The headland is made by the river Glomma, and the farm is lying beneath a hill.)
The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 9 December 2001. The arms show three black hooks for log driving on a gold background. This was chosen to represent the importance of logging and forestry to the municipality throughout history.
