M. K. Ashok is an Indian politician and was a member of the 14th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from the Velachery constituency in Chennai District. He represented the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party.^[1]

The elections of 2016 resulted in his constituency being won by Vagai Chanderasekar.^[2] Ashok was one of thirteen AIADMK MLAs in the Greater Chennai area who were deselected by the party, apparently in an attempt to thwart a potential anti-incumbency backlash from the electorate following the recent flooding. It was felt that fresh faces would put some distance between the past and the present.^[3]

On 22 June 2015, Ashok, his wife and a relative were injured in a car accident at the village of Pudusukkampatti, near Melur, Madurai.^[4] The three, along with a driver who escaped uninjured, were on their way to attend a funeral in Paramakudi when the accident occurred.^{[citation needed]}
