Asian Wave Alliance is an American political advocacy group. Based in New York City, the group describes itself as a nonpartisan political group for Asian-American New Yorkers[1] that organizes voters.[2]

The group has criticized affirmative action policies that they see as discriminatory.[3] They advocate for merit-based systems in education.[4]

In 2022, Asian Wave Alliance advocated for more Asian representation during the redistricting process of New York City Council's district boundaries.[5][6] They celebrated the eventual creation of an Asian opportunity district in Brooklyn, the first of its kind.[7]
