Blacasset, Blacassetz, Blacssetz, or Blachessetz (fl. 1233–1242 ) was a Provençal troubadour of the noble family of the Blacas, lords of Aulps, in the Empire. He was probably a son of the troubadour Blacatz, as his vida alleges, though this has come into doubt. He was also distantly related to Charles I of Naples and Raymond Berengar IV of Provence. Among his other works are:
, a tenso with Guilhem de Montanhagol in the trobar clus style about a lady, Guiza (Gauzeranda) de Lunel
, a sirventes he wrote for the conte de Proensa (count of Provence)
