Ashmont, known originally as "J.J. Salmon's Estate" is a south-western suburb of Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. The suburb is named after the Salmon family's original homestead that was located where the suburb now stands. Ashmont was first urbanised in the late 1950s, and during the 1970s large areas were developed by the then State Housing Commission (now known as the New South Wales Department of Housing)^[1].

Within Wagga Wagga the suburb is subject to a poor reputation and is often referred to as "Trashmont".
