The Marcus Ashcroft Medal is awarded to the player judged best on ground in the QClash football match played between Brisbane and Gold Coast.

It is named after former footballer Marcus Ashcroft, who played junior football on the Gold Coast for Surfers Paradise and Southport as well as 318 games for the Brisbane Bears/Lions between 1989 and 2003. He was both an integral member of Brisbane's triple premiership team and the first Queenslander to play 300 AFL games. He is also a member of Queensland's AFL Team of the Century.[1]

Current Gold Coast player Touk Miller has won the medal a record four times, whilst former Brisbane Lions' captain Dayne Beams has won the medal three times and Jarryd Lyons, Gary Ablett Jr and Lachie Neale have won the medal twice.
