John Ashburnham, 1st Earl of Ashburnham (13 March 1687 – 10 March 1737) was a British peer.
Ashburnham was the second son of John Ashburnham, 1st Baron Ashburnham and his wife, Bridget. In 1710, he became Tory Member of Parliament for Hastings, but was forced to resign his seat a few months later when he inherited his childless brother's barony of Ashburnham.
From 1713 to 1715, Ashburnham became Colonel of the 1st (His Majesty's Own) Troop of Horse Guards, a Lord of the Bedchamber to Frederick, Prince of Wales from 1728 to 1731 and Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard from 1731 to 1733. On 14 May 1730, he was created Earl of Ashburnham and Viscount St Asaph.
