West Ashby is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, about a mile north of the market town of Horncastle. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 252.

The village lies on the busy A153 between Horncastle and Louth. West Ashby civil parish includes the Hamlets of Farthorpe and Middlethorpe.

All Saints parish church, which was restored in 1873, sports a sign where the word 'SAINTS' is spelt with a backwards letter 'N', i.e. 'SAIŠ˜TS'. The village's pub is called the Green Dragon.

Horncastle's golf club is located at West Ashby Country Park, where a road called Shearman's Wath crosses the River Bain. The remains of a henge monument can be found just west of the village, off Docking Lane.
