Jose Eleazer Ascanio (born May 2, 1985) is a right-handed pitcher who plays for the Atlanta Braves.

Ascanio was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2001 by the Braves, and has yet to make his debut.

Jose began his professional career with the GCL Braves, where he went 4-1 with a 1.37 ERA and 17 strikeouts at age 18. The next year, with the Rome Braves, he went 3-3, with a 3.84 ERA and 64 strikeouts, as well as a career-high 9 saves, in 34 games.

In 2005, he played in 5 games for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, recording 3 wins, 1 loss, a 6.10 ERA, and a career-low 12 K, before being sidelined witha fractured back injury. Ascanio is one of Atlanta's best prospects, and is on track to make his big league debut in about two years.
