Aston on Clun is a village in Shropshire, England. Population: 253.

It lies near to the River Clun, on the B4368, in between the towns of Clun and Craven Arms. The village of Broome, which has a railway station, is also close by. It is in the parish of Hopesay.

There is a pub, the "Kangaroo Inn", and a small shop/Post Office in the village. At the centre lies an Arbor Tree, which usually has flags ceremonially held amongst its branches.

In 1949 the Oaker Estate was wound up and auctioned off in small plots as lots. The estate covered almost all of the village and surrounding countryside, including the Kangaroo Inn which was lot number 1. Inside the pub today the original maps, auction documents and deeds of the Oaker Estate sale can be seen.
