Ashwell Gavin Prince (born 28 May 1977) is a former South African cricketer who played all formats of the game for South Africa and a former captain. A left-handed middle order batsman, he has a high-batted stance and is strong through the onside. He is noted for his gritty style of batting and also for being an athletic fielder in the covers. At the age of 29, he became the first non-white man to captain the South African cricket team when he stood in for the injured Graeme Smith in two Tests.
