Canons Ashby is a small village and civil parish in the Daventry district of the county of Northamptonshire in England.

Its most famous building is Canons Ashby House, a National Trust property. The parish church is a surviving fragment of Canons Ashby Priory.

It is situated one mile from Moreton Pinkney. A railway station was located between the two villages, on the Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway (later part of the LMS), but the station closed in April 1952.

The village is part of the Daventry constituency, which is represented by the Conservative Member of Parliament Tim Boswell. He has held the seat since 1987.
