The titular hero of the French comic book series The Adventures of Asterix. The series portrays him as a diminutive but fearless Gaulish warrior living in the time of Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars. Asterix was created in 1959 by writer René Goscinny and illustrator Albert Uderzo. Since then, thirty-five books in the series have been released, with Uderzo taking over writing duties after the death of Goscinny in 1977. Asterix has also appeared in several animated and live-action film adaptations of the series, and serves as the mascot of the amusement park Parc Astérix.

In live-action films, the character was portrayed by Christian Clavier in Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar and Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, by Clovis Cornillac in Asterix at the Olympic Games, and by Édouard Baer in Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia. The animated character has been voiced by British comedy actors Bill Oddie and Craig Charles.
