Ashland is a town in Grafton County, New Hampshire, United States.

Ashland was once the southwestern corner of Holderness, chartered in 1751 by colonial Governor Benning Wentworth.

But hostilities during the French and Indian War delayed settlement, and in 1761, it was regranted as "New Holderness" (although "New" would be dropped in 1816).

The falls provided water power for mills, and in 1770–1771, a sawmill and gristmill were built.

Goods manufactured at local factories included hosiery, gloves, sporting equipment, wood products and paper.

Packard Company, would close in 2002, and Ashland is today a residential and resort community.

The highest point in Ashland is Hicks Hill, at 1,386 feet (422 m) above sea level.
