Are you looking for dividend shares to buy? If you are, then the two named below could be worth checking out.

Both have been named as buys by analysts and tipped to provide attractive yields. Here's what you need to know about them:

Dicker Data Ltd (ASX: DDR)

The first ASX dividend share to look at is Dicker Data. It is one of the largest technology hardware, software, cloud, cybersecurity, access control and surveillance distributors in Australia and New Zealand.

Dicker Data could be a quality option for income investors thanks to its long track record of earnings and dividend growth and its positive long-term outlook. The latter is being supported by the recent expansion of its warehouse by 70%. This provides a significant runway to capture additional growth in the coming years and is also expected to deliver cost savings.

Morgan Stanley is positive on the company and recently retained its outperform rating and $14.00 price target on its shares.

As for dividends, its analysts are forecasting fully-franked dividends per share of 35.3 cents in FY 2022 and 40.5 cents in FY 2023. Based on the latest Dicker Data share price of $9.89, this will mean yields of 3.6% and 4.1%, respectively.

Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT (ASX: HCW)

Another ASX dividend share that has been tipped as a buy is Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT.

It is a health and wellness focused real estate investment trust that invests in hospitals, aged care, childcare, government, life sciences and research, and primary care and wellness properties.

Goldman Sachs is a fan of the company and has a conviction buy rating and $2.14 price target on its shares. Goldman likes Healthco Healthcare and Wellness due to its strong balance sheet and its exposure to government-backed sub-sectors. In fact, the broker said that these qualities make it "one of our top picks in the sector."

In respect to dividends, Goldman expects dividends per share of 7.5 cents in both FY 2023 and FY 2024. Based on the current Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT unit price of $1.41, this will mean yields of 5.3% for investors.
