John Lawrence Ashbery (28 Julai 1927 - 3 Septemba 2017) alikuwa mshairi kutoka nchi ya Marekani. Mwaka wa 1976 alipokea Tuzo ya Pulitzer ya Ushairi. Ashbery ameandika zaidi ya diwani za mashairi zipatazo ishirini ambazo zimechapishwa na kushinda tuzo mbalimbali kubwa za American award for poetry, ikiwemo tuzo ya Pulitzer Prize aloipata mwaka 1976. Alitambulika pia kwa msukumo wake wa mashairi ya kimalumbano, Ashbery alikuwa anatamani kuona kazi zake zikikubalika na watu wengi iwezekanavyo na si ibaki kazi yake peke yake.
