Barry Ashby
| Date of birth | 21 November 1970 |
| Place of birth | Park Royal |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 86 kg |
| Height | 1.88 m |
| Position | Defender/Centre back |
A near ever-present for Gillingham in 2000-01, Barry was once again a dominant force at the heart of the defence. Although troubled by a calf injury towards the end of the campaign he was an automatic choice in the club's first season in Division One. A reliable central defender, he is always dangerous at set pieces and is very effective pushing down the right wing from where he can deliver an accurate cross into the box.
