Asesino—a term meaning "assassin" or "murderer" in Spanish—is an American deathgrind supergroup formed as a side endeavor by Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares. The lineup features musicians affiliated with bands such as Brujeria, Fear Factory, Sepultura, Sadistic Intent, Possessed, Ministry, and Static-X.

Their live performances often include covers of iconic Slayer tracks like "Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood". As with Brujeria, the band's lyrics are exclusively in Spanish and explore motifs surrounding death, violence, and deviance. The guitarist behind Asesino characterizes the project as "the new Brujeria." During concerts, the group frequently incorporates satirical elements and modifies Brujeria songs by altering their lyrics.

Asesino made a guest appearance portraying Mexican doctors in the 57th episode of Metalocalypse aired on Adult Swim. In this episode, Campos provided the voice for Dr. Sepultura, while Cazares and Márquez played his assistants.
