Tasmate is the name of several places in Vanuatu.

The term Tasmate means etymologically "dead sea" (from Proto-Oceanic *tasik 'sea', *mate 'dead'); it refers to places on the coast where the sea is quieter, and makes landing easier.

In the Proto-Torres–Banks language, ancestral to Mota and Mwerlap, it can be reconstructed as *tasimate.

The name may refer to the following entities:

• Tasmate (Santo), a village on the west coast of Espiritu Santo [15.1582°S 166.6382°E / -15.1582; 166.6382]
  • Tasmate language, the language spoken in that village
• Tasmate (Mota), a village on the island of Mota [13.8539°S 167.6843°E / -13.8539; 167.6843]
• Tesmet (Merelava) (form taken by the name Tasmate in the local Mwerlap language), a village on the island of Merelava [14.4574°S 168.0223°E / -14.4574; 168.0223]
