Ashra may refer to:

  • A previous spelling of the name of the American percussionist and electronic music composer Asyrah
  • An alias of the German progressive rock group Ash Ra Tempel
  • Ashra Kwesi, a Dallas-based historian and lecturer on ancient civilization
  • An acronym for "All-sky Survey High Resolution Air-shower detector", a project of the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research
  • The "Warriors of Ashra", a set of elves in the Heroscape Universe.
  • A Hindu surname predominantely found in the north-western Indian state of Gujarat, belonging to a farming caste. Recently this caste has self-elevated itself to a new caste called bhramakshatriyas, to escape prejudice and also the socio-economic constraints being imposed on the farming communities in modern day 'industrialising' India. The creation of this new caste makes the process of rural to urban migration significantly easier for the Ashras and other 'bhramakshatiya' (farmer) families.
