Richard Ashley (27 October 1902 in Axbridge, Somerset – 7 August 1974 in Selsey, Sussex), is a former first-class cricketer who played two matches for Somerset County Cricket Club in 1932. He also appeared in two first-class matches in India in the late 1930s, playing for Mysore in the Ranji Trophy and for the Europeans in the Bombay Pentangular Tournament.
