Leslie Frank Asling (7 March 1912 – 16 August 1990) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood, Essendon and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Asling attended Dandenong High School[2] and initially played football for Berwick, where he was halfback and follower.[3] He transferred to Belgrave in 1932[4] and then in the 1934 season played four games for the Collingwood seconds before being promoted to the seniors where he played five games that year.[5] After failing to make Collingwood's list in 1935, Asling moved to Essendon and made seven appearances for them that year.[6] After again failing to make a list in his second year, in 1936 Asling transferred to Hawthorn[7] where he made two senior appearances. In 1937 he returned to Belgrave.[8]

Asling served in both the Australian Army[9] and the Royal Australian Air Force[10] during World War II.
