Ashok Malhotra (born 1950, Pune, India) is an Indian professor, higher education professional and author.

To quote from a report in a 1981 issue of 'India Today' a prominent news magazine, Jain (The Director) dismisses this frustration as "rumour mongering" and says that staffers should submit their grievances to him and not to the press.

He dismisses the fear of victimisation but forgets that late last year Ashok Malhotra, a lecturer who is immensely respected by his colleagues and was at the Centre of Energy Studies, was abruptly served with a termination notice.

His most recent appointment during 2009–2010 was as the Director of the Amrapali Institute of Technology and Sciences, AITS in the Nainital District of India.
