Decimus Valerius Asiaticus (around 5 BC – 47 AD, Greek: Δέκιμος Οὐαλέριος Ἀσιατικός) was a prominent Roman senator of provincial origin. Asiaticus was twice consul: first in 35 as suffect consul with Aulus Gabinius Secundus as his colleague; second in 46 as ordinary consul with Marcus Junius Silanus as his colleague. He was the first man from Gaul to be admitted into the Roman Senate, as well as the first man from Gaul to attain the consulship.
