Asa Koma ("Red Hill") is an archaeological site in Djibouti.

Asa Koma is an inland lake area on the Gobaad Plain. Pottery predating the mid-2nd millennium has been found at the site. The ware is characterized by punctate and incision geometric designs, which bear a similarity to the Sabir culture phase 1 ceramics from Ma'layba in Southern Arabia. Additionally, ceramics like some of the pottery from Sihi on the Saudi coast and Subr on the Yemeni littoral have been found here.

Long-horned humpless cattle bones have also been discovered at Asa Koma, suggesting that domesticated cattle was present by around 3,500 years ago.
