Jonathan Rashleigh (7 January 1820 12 April 1905) was an English cricketer active in the early 1840s, making four appearances in first-class cricket. Born at Wilsford, Wiltshire, Rashleigh's batting and bowling styles are unknown.

Rashleigh made his debut in first-class cricket in 1841 for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at the Magdalen Ground, Oxford. He made three further first-class appearances for the university in 1842, playing twice against the MCC and once in the The University Match against Oxford University at Lord's.[1] He scored a total of 42 runs with a high score of 20,[2] while with the ball he took two wickets.[3]

A member of the prominent Rashleigh family, Rashleigh was listed in 1873 as the largest landowner in Cornwall with an estate of 30,156 acres (122.04 km2) or 3.97% of the total area of Cornwall.[4] He was a Deputy Lieutenant of Cornwall.[5] He died at the Menabilly Estate on 12 April 1905.
