Colonel Henry Hervey Aston (1759 – 23 December 1798) was an English cricketer who played for the Hambledon Club.

A useful batsman, Aston made 13 known first-class appearances from 1786 to 1793 when his military duties took precedence.

In December 1793, Aston obtained a Lieutenant-colonelcy in the 12th Foot. Afterwards, he went to Madras, where, in 1798,he fought a duel with Major Picton. Both fired into the air. The next day, in another duel, he was wounded by a new adversary, Major Allen. After languishing for about a week, Aston died on 23 December 1798.
