Gaashah (played by Ivar Kants) is a minor character from the sci-fi TV series Farscape. Appearing in the Season 4 episode "A Prefect Murder", he was the Prefect Elect of one of several clans of Sebaceanoid inhabitants of an unnamed planet in Tormented Space. His people had a long history of violence and had only recently achieved peace by the time Moya arrived at their planet seeking food and water. Gaashah, like most of his people, was distrustful of off-worlders, though he allowed Moya's crew to set down and gather the supplies they needed.

Though Gaashah was an advocate of peace, not all shared his sentiment and there were those plotting against his rise to power. Prefect Falaak wished to remain in power and sought to dispose of Gaashah, hiring the mercenary E'Alet to assassinate him. E'Alet was capable of spawning sgabba flies within his body which were capable of implanting subliminal messages within the minds of those that they bit. With Moya's crew on the planet, Falaak seemingly had the perfect foils for his plot and had E'Alet use his flies to bite Aeryn Sun. Under E'Alet's control, Aeryn drew a pulse pistol within a crowded marketplace and shot Gaashah along with sixteen other people.
