The following list of ethnic groups is a partial list of United States cities and towns in which a majority (over 50%) of the population is Asian American or Asian, according to the United States Census Bureau. This list does not include cities in which, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, merely a plurality (as opposed to a majority) of the residents are Asian American. The list below is organized by state or territory and, within each state or territory, by population size. The percentage of each city's population that is Asian American is listed in parentheses next to the city's name.

There are 51 communities in four states and two territories with Asian-American majority populations.
