Cassville is an unincorporated community in Bartow County in the U.S. state of Georgia. It was originally the county seat before the name was changed from Cass County. The seat was moved to Cartersville after General Sherman destroyed Cassville in his Atlanta Campaign of 1864.

Cassville, although no longer incorporated, is said to encompass an area beginning at the Cassville Road-Firetower Road intersection and extending a mile in all directions. Cassville lies in between Adairsville, Georgia and Cartersville, Georgia right off of Highway 41. It is considered part of metro Atlanta but still is maintaining its small town atmosphere. Population estimates of the area show Cassville has a population near 5000.

Cassville is home to one of the oldest post office buildings in the country and Cass Grocery, a general store that has stood since 1800. Other points of interest include the Cassville History Museum, Cassville Visitors Information (located at the volunteer fire department) and Cassville Confederate Cemetery, located on Cass-White Road.
