Ashby Magna is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Harborough, Leicestershire, England. Its name, with the Latin "Magna" (great), historically distinguishes it from the neighbouring Ashby Parva; the settlement sits amid rolling agricultural land typical of the Leicestershire countryside and lies within easy reach of the district town of Market Harborough and the city of Leicester.
The community retains a quiet, village character shaped by farming and scattered historic farmhouses and cottages, and many residents now commute to nearby towns for work. Local life revolves around parish activities and village gatherings, with a sense of continuity between the medieval origins of the place and its modern rural lifestyle.
