"Asian Perspectives: The Journal of Archaeology for Asia and the Pacific" is an international academic journal devoted to the prehistory of Asia and the Pacific region. In addition to archaeology, it features articles and book reviews on ethnoarchaeology, palaeoanthropology, physical anthropology, and ethnography of interest and use to prehistorians.

"Asian Perspectives" first appeared in 1957 as the Bulletin of the Far-Eastern Prehistory Association (American Branch) under the editorship of Wilhelm G. Solheim II, then followed its editor to other institutions. Volumes II (1958) through VIII (1964) were published by Hong Kong University Press, and volumes IX (1966) through XI (1968) by the Social Science Research Institute at the University of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii Press became the publisher from volume XII (1969), adding the subtitle "A Journal of Archaeology and Prehistory of Asia and the Pacific." In 1992, the editorship passed to Michael W. Graves and the subtitle was changed to "The Journal of Archaeology for Asia and the Pacific".

The journal appears semiannually in March and September. Its first electronic edition appeared in 2001 (vol. 39) on Project MUSE.
