Ashleigh Katherine Gardner (born 15 April 1997) is an Australian cricketer who currently plays for the national women's team as an all-rounder. A right-handed batter and right-arm off spinner, Gardner also plays for New South Wales in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) and for the Sydney Sixers in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL). She has won three world championships and four national titles with her respective teams, while also gaining numerous individual honours, including the Belinda Clark Award.
Following standout performances throughout the 2014–15 Imparja Cup, Gardner made her WNCL debut for New South Wales in the 2015–16 season, and joined the Sydney Sixers for the inaugural WBBL season. In the same summer, she played one T20 and one 50-over game in New Zealand for Northern Districts (not to be confused with one of her local NSW Premier Cricket teams, Northern District Cricket Club).
Gardner enjoyed a breakout 2016–17 season, winning championships with both the Sixers and New South Wales, as well as being named the Young Gun of WBBL|02. Her participation in the WBBL final was impacted as she was forced from the field with heat exhaustion, reportedly as a precaution after a head knock at training two days earlier.
