Ashburton was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Western Australia from 1890 to 1901 and again from 1989 to 1996.
The district was one of the original 30 seats contested at the 1890 state election. It was located in the remote north-west of the state. The seat was abolished ahead of the 1901 state election.
Revived for the 1989 state election, Ashburton was won by Labor candidate Pam Buchanan, previously the member for Pilbara. Buchanan, by this time an independent, resigned the seat in 1991 due to ill-health, triggering a by-election won by Labor candidate Fred Riebeling. The district was abolished ahead of the 1996 state election and Riebeling shifted to the new seat of Burrup at that election.
