Ashton Gibbs (born January 19, 1990) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Vaqueros de Agua Prieta of the Mexican Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacífico (CIBACOPA). The 6'2" point guard played college basketball for the University of Pittsburgh.
After graduating from Seton Hall Preparatory School in West Orange, New Jersey in 2008, Gibbs played college basketball with the Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team. In 2010-11, Gibbs was an All-Big East First Team selection and an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American, while in 2009-10, he was named Big East Conference Most Improved Player and All-Big East Second Team.
Gibbs became a starter in his sophomore season, averaging 15.7 points per game, on 39.7% shooting from the field. He played an average of 34.6 minutes per game for the Panthers during the 2009–10 season.
Gibbs entered his senior season at the University of Pittsburgh selected as the 2011–12 Preseason Big East Player of the Year. The Panthers had a less than stellar 2011–12 season, finishing 22–17, but only 5–13 in Big East play, as they failed to make the NCAA tournament and NIT, and instead landed in the CBI, which they won. He averaged 14.6 points per game with a .382 FG% and a .345 3P%.
After going undrafted in the 2012 NBA draft, Gibbs joined the Brooklyn Nets for the 2012 NBA Summer League but did not end up appearing in a game for them. On August 9, 2012, he signed with Panionios of Greece for the 2012–13 season. In December 2012, he left Panionios after eight league games and four Eurocup games. In February 2013, he signed with Ourense of Spain for the rest of the season.
