Ashby de la Launde is a small village, part of the civil parish of Ashby de la Launde and Bloxholm, in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England, just west of Digby, and east of the A15 and the B1191. The suffix to the name comes from the family that once held the Lordship of the Manor here, the De la Launde's.

There is a church dedicated to Saint Hybald and a hall. Ashby Hall was built in 1595 by Edward King, it remained in the King family until the late 19th century although between 1814 and 1835 it was let to a Mrs Gardner as a girls school. In 1841 the Hall and estate passed to John William King who was also the parson of Ashby. Now squire and parson he took over the stables and stud and set about breeding racehorses. In 1874 his filly 'Apology' won the Triple Crown of the Thousand Guineas, the Oaks and the St Leger. His activities came to the notice of Bishop Wordsworth of Lincoln who demanded his resignation from the church. King resigned a year later and died shortly afterwards. The Hall has changed greatly over the years and in the 1960s it was converted into a Country Club.
