Ausert or Auserd is a city in Oued-Dahab Laguera province in the Moroccan administered part of Western Sahara. The number of permanent structures in Auserd is low, as many residents follow the traditionally nomadic Bedouin lifestyle of the Sahrawis, passing through the city only temporarily and living in tents. The population was 5,832 in 2004.
South of Tindouf, Algeria, there is a Sahrawi refugee camp named after Auserd.
