Harold Mason Aston (10 October 1855 – 1914) was an English footballer who scored the first recorded goal of West Bromwich Albion.
After leaving Spon Lane School, Aston worked at the George Salter Spring Works.[1] He joined West Bromwich Albion in September 1879 and was a member of the club's first senior squad of 1879–80. He netted Albion's first recorded goal on 20 December 1879, in a friendly against Black Lake Victoria. He also played in Albion's first FA Cup match against Wednesbury Town in November 1883.[1]

He moved to Burslem Port Vale in the summer of 1886 and quickly established himself as a first-team competitor. He scored 16 goals in 44 games, though most of these were friendlies he did make four FA Cup appearances.[3] He departed in 1887 to spend a brief period with First Division side Preston North End.
