The Public Enterprise for Managing and Protection of the Multipurpose Area Jasen (Macedonian: Јавно претпријатие за управување и заштита на повеќенаменското подрачје „Јасен“) or just Reservе Jasen (Macedonian: Резерват „Јасен“) is a nature reserve in the Republic of Macedonia. It was turned into a protected nature reserve in 2010 and is situated only 15 km from Skopje. The park compromises around 24,000 hectares of caves, mountains, underground rivers and lakes. The lowest point is the still uncharted canyon lake Matka. The highest point is Mount Karadzica with a height of almost 2,500m.

The park is home to the endangered Eurasian lynx and the rare Balkan chamois.
