Ashby Potters' Guild was an English studio pottery existing from 1909-1922.

The studio pottery was established in 1909 in Woodville, Derbyshire, England by Pascoe Tunnicliffe. Tunnicliffe specialised in experimental decorative glaze effects. Lustres, flambe and crystalline effects were produced, some being very similar in those produced in William Howsen Taylor's Ruskin Pottery.

Tunnicliffe was known to have exhibited at the International Exhibition Brussels 1910, the Turin International Exhibition 1911, and the , Ghent Exhibition 1913.

Studio production was temporarily suspended during the first World War and by 1922 the pottery merged with William Ault's pottery to form Ault and Tunnicliffe. This was later renamed Aultcliff and was finally renamed Ault Potteries Ltd from 1937.
