If you're looking for some quality ASX dividend shares to buy, then the three listed below tick a lot of boxes for me.

I think they are among the best on offer for income investors right now. Here's why:

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)

The first ASX dividend share to consider buying is Commonwealth Bank. I think the big four banks were severely oversold during the pandemic and, although they have recovered strongly over the last few weeks, I still think they are undervalued. My preference in the sector remains Commonwealth Bank due to the overall quality of its business. Next year I expect the company to cut its dividend to ~$3.70 per share. If this proves accurate it will mean a fully franked 5.4% FY 2021 yield.

Fortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX: FMG)

Fortescue Metals could be a great dividend share to own if you don't mind investing in the resources sector. It looks well-positioned to deliver strong profit results in FY 2020 and FY 2021 thanks to sky high iron ore prices, improving production grades, and its low cost operations. And with the iron ore producer's balance sheet looking strong, I suspect the majority of its free cash flow will be returned to shareholders. I expect this to lead to a fully franked dividend of at least 6% in FY 2021.

Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS)

A third dividend share to consider buying is Telstra. The telco giant is one of my favourite income options right now due to its attractive valuation, generous yield, and positive outlook. The latter is thanks to the NBN headwind beginning to ease and its significant cost cutting. Combined, I believe Telstra could return to growth in the coming years. But thankfully, until then I believe it dividend is sustainable at 16 cents per share. This equates to a fully franked 5% dividend yield.
