The Asian golden weaver (Ploceus hypoxanthus) is a species of bird in the family Ploceidae.

It is found in Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, swamps, and arable land.

It is threatened by habitat loss and capture, notably for the merit release trade.

The breeding male is generally bright yellow with a black mask (diagnostic in Asia). Females, non-breeding males and young birds are dull coloured and difficult to distinguish from the Baya Weaver, with their thicker bills being the only thing that sets them apart. In general, Asian golden weavers are considered medium-sized birds with yellow and black upperparts, along with yellow underparts. They possess a black face, yellow crown, a strong black bill, and have an average length of 22 centimeters.
