William Hare "Gobo" Ashley (10 February 1862 – 14 July 1930) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1889, the second Test ever played by his country. A left-arm medium-paced bowler, Ashley took 7 for 95 in the only Test innings he bowled in, becoming the second South African to take a five-wicket haul after Albert Rose-Innes during that inaugural South African Test earlier in the year. Ashley later played three first-class matches for a Cape Town Clubs team and Western Province in South African domestic cricket in 1890 and 1891, taking 13 wickets. He was a member of Western Province team that won the 1890–91 Champion Bat Tournament, when he opened the bowling with Voltelin van der Bijl.
