Asian records in athletics are the best marks set in an event by an athlete who competes for a member nation of theAsian Athletics Association. The organisation is responsible for ratification and it analyses each record before approving it. Records may be set in any continent and at any competition, providing that the correct measures are in place (such as wind-gauges) to allow for a verifiable and legal mark.

  Awaiting ratification  Record not kept by AAA  Not ratified or later rescinded by AAA

a = aided road course according to IAAF rule 260.28
# = not recognised by association
! = timing by photo-electric cell
