Ashley Vernon McGrath (born May 20, 1983) is an indigenous Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Picked up in the 2000 AFL Draft at pick no. 13, the Brisbane Lions recruited the talented forward, where he made his AFL debut late in 2001. He continued to establish himself in the side and by 2003, was a regular member, being part of the Lions' 3rd straight AFL premiership.
In 2005 he found more opportunities up forward with the retirement of other forwards Craig McRae and Alistair Lynch. He now shares the forward line with upcoming fellow indigenous player Anthony Corrie.
McGrath has two brothers who also played in the AFL, Toby and Cory.
