Ashford, now a ghost town, was a community in Banner County, Nebraska, United States. Ashford was named after its first postmaster, William Ashford.[1]

Named the temporary county seat of Banner County on 25 January 1889, it possessed a post office that opened in October 1888 and closed on 24 July 1902.[2]

Ashford was located on Pumpkin Creek,[2] approximately one mile south of Funnel Rock, near the present-day intersection of Nebraska Highway 71, Nebraska Highway 88 (western portion), and Pumpkin Creek Road.[3]
