Ashley Wood (born 1971) is an Australian comic book artist and illustrator who is well known for his atmospheric cover art, concept design and his work as an art director. Wood generally works in mixed media, often combining oil painting with digital artmaking. His style contains elements of Expressionism.

Wood is an award winning illustrator who worked for many years in both the U.K. and international comic book worlds (working on characters such as the British icon Judge Dredd), before breaking into the U.S. market where he worked for such companies as Marvel and DC. Wood later worked for Image creating graphic novels and cover art for the various Spawn properties of Todd McFarlane. More recently, he has been pursuing projects with IDW Publishing.

Wood has also worked in nearly all major forms of entertainment media, having contributed to both movie and TV projects. He has also worked solidly in the field of advertising and is an exhibited fine artist.

Working in conjunction with Konami Japan and legendary Japanese producer/director Hideo Kojima, Wood assisted in creating one of the world's first true digital comics for Sony's PlayStation Portable platform, the Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel. Following this, he also supplied art for the cinema scenes in the 2006 PlayStation Portable game Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and for the comic book adaptation of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which is receiving the same digital treatment as its predecessor.

Wood is a Spectrum and Communications Arts Award winner, and an Eisner award nominee. His unique style has spawned many imitators. He currently lives in Australia with his wife and two sons. In 2006 Wood accepted an honorary invitation to join the American Illustrators Society.
