Asha Addo (Somali: Caashacado) is a village located in the Zeila district of the Awdal Region, in Somaliland.
The village lies on both sides of a wadi (a mostly dry riverbed) in the Guban, a desert-like coastal steppe. It has a mosque and 2 telecom masts. The main road from Djibouti to Somaliland's capital Hargeisa passes through Asha Addo; it is no more than a sandy track in these parts.
