Canons Ashby is a small village in Northamptonshire, close to Preston Capes.
The most notable building in the village is Canons Ashby House, a National Trust property.
The parish church is a surviving fragment of Canons Ashby Priory.
The village 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 London Midland and Scottish Railway), but the station closed in April 1952.
