Saint Giasemi the Righteous is a Christian saint of Roman times. She led a devout life and was called "the Righteous" by the synaxarists, an epithet that describes a blameless person who keeps the divine commandments. Her name comes from the plant called iasmos in ancient Greek, that is, jasmine.

She is honoured by the Orthodox and by the Catholic Church on 4 February (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece). The sources consulted give no data about the place or the time of her life.
