This article is about a yacht. For other uses, see Asgard (disambiguation).

The Asgard is a 44-foot yacht, formerly owned by the English-born Irish nationalist leader Erskine Childers and his wife Mollie. In 1914, she was used to import guns from Germany in preparation for an uprising, and was later used as a sail training vessel until replaced by the Asgard II.

Having played an important part in Ireland's history, and served a further role as the nation's first sail-training vessel, the Asgard has an important place in Irish history. After the abandonment in 2002 of a controversial restoration project, the yacht is now in government storage until a permanent home is found for her in an Irish museum.
