Asian American segregation refers to the historical and ongoing social, economic, and spatial separation of Asian Americans in the United States. Asian Americans have faced various forms of segregation throughout history, including residential segregation, occupational segregation, and racial discrimination.

Residential segregation has been a major factor in Asian American segregation. In the past, Asian American communities were often confined to designated areas known as Chinatowns or Japantowns. These neighborhoods were created due to racial exclusionary laws, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. While Asian Americans have since dispersed and settled in various neighborhoods across the country, patterns of residential segregation still persist.

Occupational segregation is another form of segregation experienced by Asian Americans. They have been disproportionately represented in certain industries such as technology, engineering, and healthcare, while being underrepresented in leadership positions in broader sectors and industries. This occupational concentration can limit opportunities for upward mobility and perpetuate stereotypes about the capabilities and limitations of Asian Americans.

Racial discrimination and bias also contribute to Asian American segregation. Asian Americans have historically faced discrimination in education, employment, and other areas of life. These experiences can create barriers to integration and contribute to the continued separation of Asian Americans from the larger society.

It is important to note that Asian American experiences with segregation can vary depending on factors such as country of origin, socioeconomic status, and generational status. Additionally, the experiences of Asian Americans are informed by intersecting forms of discrimination, including sexism, xenophobia, and racism, among others.
