Jonathan James Ashton (born 4 October 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender.
He is the fitness coach at Stevenage. Ashton was part of Leicester City's youth academy, progressing through the youth system for six years after joining the club at the age of 12.
He made seven Premier League appearances during Leicester's 2001–02 season, playing a total of 10 matches for the club.
During his time at Leicester, Ashton was loaned out to both Notts County and Oxford United respectively, joining the latter permanently in September 2003 after his successful loan spell.
He played over 100 matches for the club spanning over three league seasons, before being released in May 2006. He signed for Rushden & Diamonds ahead of the 2006–07 season, spending one season at the club before joining Essex club Grays Athletic on a free transfer in May 2007.
He spent one and a half years with Grays, before signing for Stevenage Borough for an undisclosed fee in January 2009.

The following season, Ashton played a key part in Stevenage earning back-to-back promotions to League One following their sixth-place finish and subsequent League Two play-off victory in May 2011.
