John Aston (born 20 November 1882 in Dublin; died 9 January 1951 in Birmingham, England) was an Irish cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler.

He made his debut for Ireland on their tour of the USA in 1909, playing against a team representing New York. He then played two first-class matches against Philadelphia on the same tour. He would not represent Ireland again until 1925, when he played two first-class matches against Scotland and Wales in addition to a match against the MCC at Lord's.
