This is a list of Asian Academy Award winners and nominees.

This list includes Academy Award winners and nominees who have Asian ancestry, which includes South-Western Asia (the Middle East) and Asian Russia (Siberia). Additionally, Pacific Islanders and Hapas (people of mixed Asian descent) appear on this list. It also includes Asian countries for the category of Foreign Language Film. This list is current as of the 80th Academy Awards ceremony held on February 24, 2008.

As with the List of Black Academy Award winners and nominees, this list is an examination of the history of a racial group, specifically those who have been recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and therefore does not include Caucasians (or members of any other non-Asian racial group) who were born in Asia, and who may be considered "Asian" as a matter of nationality or citizenship.
