Charlotte Ashburnham, Countess of Ashburnham (3 June 1776 – 26 November 1862), [1] formerly Lady Charlotte Percy, was the second wife of George Ashburnham, 3rd Earl of Ashburnham, and the mother of the fourth earl.

Ashburnham's first marriage, to the Hon. Sophia Thynne, ended with her death in 1791. Of their four children, both sons and one daughter predeceased their father, leaving only Lady Elizabeth Sophia Ashburnham, who died unmarried on 13 March 1879, aged 92.

George succeeded his father as Earl of Ashburnham in 1812, and, on his own death in 1830, was succeeded by his fourth, but eldest surviving, son, Bertram. Charlotte then became Countess Dowager. [5]
Charlotte's portrait was painted by John Hoppner. An engraving is held at Hanbury Hall, Worcestershire. [6] Another, by Charles Wilkin, is held by the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. [7]
