Naselle is a census-designated place (CDP) in Pacific County, Washington, United States. The population was 419 at the 2010 census.

The river's name has been spelled Nasel and Nasal. An early settler along the river called it the Kenebec. The name comes from the Nisal Indians, a Chinookan tribe formerly residing on the river.
