Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash is one of two incarnations of British rock band Wishbone Ash presently performing, its leader Martin Turner having been bassist, lead vocalist and songwriter for Wishbone Ash during its most commercially successful period.

This incarnation came together during 2005 and sees Turner joined by guitarists Keith Buck and Ray Hatfield, and drummer Rob Hewins. The band has already toured extensively throughout the UK and also in Europe and its live performances focus on material from Wishbone Ash's heritage years, mixing live standards with lesser heard songs from the Wishbone Ash back catalogue, as documented on the New Live Dates Vols. 1 and 2 albums, released in 2006 and 2007 respectively. Original Wishbone Ash member Ted Turner has guested with the band onstage, as documented on the live albums. In March 2008 Keith Buck left the band. His place for recent live shows has been filled by Danny Willson (of Showaddywaddy).
