Asaccus elisae, common name Werner's leaf-toed gecko, is a species of gecko. It lives at altitudes ranging from 150 metres to 1,000 metres above sea level. It is found in southern Turkey, southeastern Anatolia, (in only a few areas on the Euphrates River valley), to the eastern part of Syria only in Abu Kamal and Al Salhyeh. Its northernmost range is eastern and northern parts of Iraq, and to western Iran. This species prefers rocky habitats having little vegetation.
