Vaserman (Wassermann) Aba Moselovich (b. 6 December 1906, Alūksne – presumed 1941) – lawyer.

Aba Vaserman was born in Alūksne into the family of a merchant. His father was Mosel, and his mother Roza (née Krieger).

He attended the Alūksne Primary School of the Education Society. After completing the Riga City Jewish Secondary School in 1925, he began studying national economics at the University of Latvia. In 1927, he switched to law and graduated in 1931.

He initially worked in the office of sworn attorney N. Kalninš, and from 18 October 1933 was his assistant in Riga. On 1 May 1940, Vaserman was registered as a sworn attorney in Riga. He was a member of the Tel Hai Fund society.

During the Soviet occupation, he was admitted to the Bar Association in January 1941.

In 1941, Aba Vaserman was confined to the Riga Ghetto. It is presumed that he perished later that year.

He was married.
