Wanting some new ASX dividend shares for a source of passive income?

If you are then take a look at the four listed below that analysts think could be top buys right now.

Here's what you need to know about them:

Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT (ASX: HCW)

The team at Bell Potter sees Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT as a top ASX dividend share to buy right now. It is a property company with a focus on health and wellness assets. This includes hospitals, aged care facilities, and primary care properties.

Bell Potter believes the company will be in a position to pay dividends of 8.4 cents per share for FY 2025 and then 8.7 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT unit price of $1.17, this will mean dividend yields of 7.2% and 7.4%, respectively.

The broker currently has a buy rating and $1.50 price target on its shares.

IPH Ltd (ASX: IPH)

Goldman Sachs thinks leading intellectual property solutions company IPH is an ASX dividend share to buy.

The broker expects IPH's defensive earnings and organic growth to allow it to pay fully franked dividends per share of 37 cents in FY 2025 and then 40 cents in FY 2026. Based on the current IPH share price of $5.66, this represents yields of 6.5% and 7.1%, respectively.

Goldman has a buy rating and $8.25 price target on its shares.

Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF)

Another ASX dividend share that could be a buy is Rural Funds. It is a growing property company that owns a portfolio of assets across a number of agricultural industries.

Analysts at Bell Potter are positive on the company's outlook and feel that its shares are undervalued.

The broker is also forecasting some attractive dividend yields. It is expecting dividends per share of 11.7 cents in FY 2025 and then 12.2 cents in FY 2026. Based on the current Rural Funds share price of $1.94, this will mean yields of 6% and 6.3%, respectively.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $2.50 price target on its shares.

SRG Global Ltd (ASX: SRG)

A final ASX dividend share that could be a top buy according to analysts is SRG Global. It is a diversified industrial services group that provides multidisciplinary construction, maintenance, production drilling and geotechnical services.

Bell Potter is also positive on this company. It highlights that its "short-to-medium term outlook is reinforced by Government-stimulated construction activity."

The broker believes this will underpin the payment of fully franked dividends of 5 cents in FY 2025 and then 6 cents in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $1.18, this will mean dividend yields of 4.2% and 5.1%, respectively.
