Asher John Hucklesby JP (1844 – 3 January 1908) was an English businessman who was the five-time mayor of Luton, Bedfordshire between 1892 and 1906.

From modest beginnings as the son of a grocer in Stopsley, he became the owner of the largest hat business in Luton.

In 1880 he bought the site of the old Luton Times offices and the neighbouring Spencer's Yard in George Street for £4,500 and built a large warehouse (now demolished).

As well as his council duties and his thriving business, Hucklesby also found time to serve as a JP and was active in the local church.

[4] On his death in 1908, he was given a civic funeral, the largest the town has ever seen, with hundreds of people lining the route to his burial in Rothesay Road cemetery.
