Julio Daniel Asad (Arabic: خوليو أسد; born 7 June 1953) is an Argentine former football player and manager. He played as a midfielder, and participated with Argentina in the 1975 Copa América.

Asad was nicknamed "El Turco" due to his Syrian and Lebanese ethnicity.[2] In Argentina, Arabs were mistakenly called Turks, since they came to Argentina with Ottoman Turkish documents in the 1900s.[3] After he retired from professional football, he became a manager. He has coached clubs in Argentina, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, and El Salvador.

He is the uncle of Omar Asad, who was also a successful player for Vélez in the 1990s.[4]
