Ashbourne was an Urban District in Derbyshire, England from 1894 to 1974.[1][2] It was created under the Local Government Act 1894.

It was enlarged in 1934 when parts of the Clifton and Compton and Sturston civil parishes were transferred to the district.

The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 and combined with various other local government districts in western Derbyshire to form the new West Derbyshire district.
