Ash is an unincorporated community in Houston County, Texas, United States.

In 1890, a post office was established there, and by 1896, the settlement included a gristmill-gin and general store.

The village had a chapel, two stores, and a handful of dwellings in the middle of the 1930s despite the post office closing in 1909; 10 people were thought to have lived there in 1936.

The shops shuttered after World War II, and by the early 1970s, only a church and a few dispersed dwellings remained.

[2] Ash is located 16 miles (26 km) southwest of Crockett at the western terminus of FM 1280.
