Ashby Ivanhoe ward occupies part of the market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in the district of North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England. It sits close to the ruins of Ashby-de-la-Zouch Castle and the winding line of the Ashby Canal, with convenient road links to larger centres such as Derby and Nottingham.
