Len Astill (born December 30, 1916, Wolverhampton - 1988) was an English former footballer.

Astill began his career with hometown club Wolves, who he made just 2 appearances for (in the top flight), before joining Blackburn Rovers for £3,000 in 1936. After a year in the Second Division at Blackburn, again without any significant first team action, he signed for Ipswich Town of the Southern League in June 1937.

He had his best season so far at Ipswich, but again moved on after just a year, joining his final side, the recently-formed Colchester United, in May 1938.
