Lodewijk Frans Asscher (Amsterdam, 27 September 1974) is a Dutch politician. He is alderman of Finances, Economics, Airport and Harbour, and vice-mayor of Amsterdam for the Labour Party.
Asscher entered the city council after the Dutch municipal elections of March 2002. Besides his role as the chairman (fractievoorzitter) of the Labour Party in the Amsterdam city council, he took part in the commission on General Affairs. Until 1 January 2006, Asscher taught information Law at the University of Amsterdam. In his book "New Amsterdam", Asscher advocated the eventual disappearance of the red light district. A few days after the release of the book, Asscher revoked that statement, statingcitation needed that he was not against prostitution, but rather against sexual slavery.
After the Dutch municipal elections of 2006, where he led the Labour Party's campaign in Amsterdam, Asscher was installed as a alderman on April 26.
