Looking for ASX 200 dividend shares for your income portfolio? If you are, then you could check out the two listed below that have been tipped as buys.

Here's what brokers are saying about these shares:

Stockland Corporation Ltd (ASX: SGP)

The first ASX 200 dividend share that could be a buy is Stockland. It is a leading residential and land lease developer and retail, logistics, and office real estate property manager.

The team at Citi think it could be a dividend share to buy right now. The broker recently retained its buy rating with a $4.60 price target. This implies almost a 14% upside for investors over the next 12 months.

In addition, the broker is expecting the company's shares to provide investors with very generous dividend yields in the near term.

Citi is forecasting dividends per share of 26.6 cents in both FY 2023 and FY 2024. Based on the current Stockland share price of $4.04, this will mean sizeable yields of 6.6% for investors.

Transurban Group (ASX: TCL)

Another ASX 200 dividend share that has been named as a buy is Transurban.

It is one of the world's leading toll road operators. At the last count, the company operated 22 roads across Australia and North America and had four projects under development or delivery.

UBS is positive on the company's outlook and believes it is well-placed for growth in the coming years. For this reason, the broker has put a buy rating and $15.45 price target on its shares. This implies a potential upside of over 10% for investors.

As for income, its analysts are forecasting dividends per share of 57 cents in FY 2023 and then 61 cents in FY 2024. Based on the current Transurban share price of $13.96, this will mean yields of 4.1% and 4.35%, respectively.
