Donald Asmussen (October 31, 1962 – December 9, 2021) was an American cartoonist working for the San Francisco Chronicle and Universal Press Syndicate.

In newspapers, he worked at the Portland Press Herald, The Detroit News, and The San Diego Union-Tribune before becoming a staff artist at the San Francisco Examiner in 1995; following its merger with the San Francisco Chronicle in 2000, he worked for the Chronicle for the remainder of his career.
At the Examiner, Asmussen started his first weekly comic strip, San Francisco Comic Strip.
He later drew Super Average Joe and short comic strip serials for events he covered on location, including Republican Convention Comic Strip and strips on the Super Bowl, the World Series, and the Burning Man festival.
His strip The Hero Santon appeared in Salon and in Mad magazine.
In 1997, Asmussen published a collection of his comic strips, The San Francisco Comic Strip Book of Big-Ass Mocha.

His most recognized strip, the semi-weekly Bad Reporter, began in the San Francisco Chronicle in 2003 and ran under the slogan "The lies behind the truth, and the truth behind those lies that are behind that truth."
The strip was syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate.
In 2006, he published Dog vs. Cat: A Nation Divided, a parody of the 2004 presidential election.
He was diagnosed with cancer in the mid-2010s, which recurred in 2018, including a brain tumor for which he underwent surgery.
