Campsea Ashe (sometimes spelt Campsey Ash) is a village in Suffolk, England located approximately 5 miles (8 km) north east of Woodbridge and 6 miles (10 km) south west of Saxmundham.
The village is served by Wickham Market railway station on the Ipswich-Lowestoft East Suffolk Line.
It is recorded in the 1078 Domesday Book as two villages, the larger being Campesia and the other Esce.
Campsea is notable for its salerooms, run by Abbotts Auction Rooms, where a weekly auction dating from the early 1920s is held on Mondays.
