Aschwin Wildeboer (born February 14, 1986 in Sabadell, Catalonia) is a backstroke swimmer of Dutch origin. His parents, both born and raised in Holland, moved to Spain in 1978, and settled in Sabadell, where his father Paulus Wildeboer became the head coach of the local swimming club, called Club Natación Sabadell.

There he and his older brother Olaf, a freestyle swimmer, were raised. They both represented Spain at the 2004 Summer Olympics, where the youngest of the two swimming brothers was eliminated in the qualifying heats of the Men's 100m and 200m Backstroke. His brother decided to swim for Holland in the spring of 2006, and represented his second country for the first time at the European LC Championships 2006 in Budapest, Hungary. There Aschwin was a member of the Spanish squad.
