The Institute of Asian Research (IAR) is a research institute founded in 1978 at the University of British Columbia (UBC) as the university's focal point for Asia-related policy and current affairs as well as interdisciplinary scholarship on contemporary Asia. It houses major endowments and five research centres that cover Southeast Asia, South Asia, Korea, Japan, and China. It also houses the academic journal Pacific Affairs, which has been published continuously since 1928.

The institute was a founding partner of UBC's School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and its Master of Public Policy and Global Affairs program. It hosts over 50 events and lectures each year that bring together scholars, practitioners, and community members. Its IAR Fellows program has welcomed over 150 fellows to date.
