Brasstown is an extinct Cherokee village in Towns County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.^[1] The exact location of Brasstown is unknown to the GNIS.^[1] It was situated about {{convert|8|mi}} southwest of present-day Hiawassee on the upper part of Brasstown Creek.^[1]^[2]

The name "Brasstown" is the result of a mistranslation of its native Cherokee-language name Itse' yi, which correctly translates to "town of the green valley".^[2]
