Australian income investors are a lucky bunch. That's because the Australian share market has a large amount of ASX dividend shares to choose from right now.

Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)
The first ASX dividend share that could be a buy according to analysts is Centuria Industrial.
It is Australia's largest domestic pure play industrial property investment vehicle with a portfolio of high-quality, fit-for-purpose industrial assets.
In response to its half-year results earlier this month, the team at UBS has retained its buy rating and $3.71 price target on its shares.
As for income, the broker is expecting Centuria Industrial to pay dividends per share of 16 cents in both FY 2024 and in FY 2025. Based on the current Centuria Industrial share price of $3.39, this represents yields of 4.7% in both years.
Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL)
Citi remains very positive on this supermarket giant despite recent price gouging controversy and sees it as an ASX dividend share to buy.
The broker has a buy rating and $17.50 price target on the company's shares.
While it expects a subdued year in FY 2024, Citi is forecasting solid earnings growth in both FY 2025 and FY 2026.
It expects this to support the payment of fully franked dividends of 64 cents per share in FY 2024 and then 70 cents per share in FY 2025. Based on the current Coles share price of $16.03, this will mean yields of 4% and 4.35%, respectively.
