If you want to boost your income portfolio this month, then it could be worth checking out the ASX 200 dividend shares listed below that analysts rate as buys.

Here's what they are saying about them:

ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: ANZ)

The first ASX 200 dividend share that could be a buy is banking giant ANZ. Goldman Sachs is positive on the bank due to its institutional business, which it expects to perform positively in the current environment. The broker has a buy rating and a $27.38 price target on its shares.

As for dividends, Goldman is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of $1.62 in both FY 2023 and FY 2024. Based on the current ANZ share price of $25.35, this will mean dividend yields of 6.4%.

Aurizon Holdings Ltd (ASX: AZJ)

Another ASX 200 dividend share that could be a buy is Aurizon. It is Australia's largest rail freight operator. Macquarie is a fan of the company and has an outperform rating and a $4.12 price target on its shares.

In respect to dividends, the broker expects partially franked dividends of 14.8 cents per share in FY 2023 and then 19.3 cents per share in FY 2024. Based on the latest Aurizon share price of $3.75, this will mean yields of 3.95% and 5.15%, respectively.

Transurban Group (ASX: TCL)

A final ASX 200 dividend share that analysts are positive on is Transurban. It manages and develops urban toll road networks in Australia and North America. Citi likes the company and believes it is well-placed thanks to inflation-linked price increases and its defensive qualities. The broker has a buy rating and a $16.20 price target on its shares.

As for income, Citi is expecting dividends per share of 58 cents in FY 2023 and 62 cents in FY 2024. Based on the current Transurban share price of $14.05, this will mean yields of 4.1% and 4.4%, respectively.
