If you are looking to boost your income with some ASX dividend shares, then you might want to consider the three listed below.

These shares have been named as buys and are expected to provide investors with attractive dividend yields in the near term.

Here's what you need to know about them:

Endeavour Group Ltd (ASX: EDV)

Endeavour Group could be an ASX dividend share to buy according to analysts at Goldman Sachs.

It is the leader in the Australian alcohol retail market through its popular store brands Dan Murphy's and BWS. In addition, the company owns the ALH Hotels business, which has over 350 licensed venues across the country.

The team at Goldman Sachs thinks Endeavour would be a top option due to its market leadership position in a defensive market.

It is expecting this to underpin fully franked dividends of 20 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 22 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current Endeavour share price of $4.09, this will mean dividend yields of 4.9% and 5.4%, respectively.

Goldman has a buy rating and $5.50 price target on its shares.

National Storage REIT (ASX: NSR)

Another ASX dividend share that could be a buy is National Storage.

It is the largest self-storage provider in Australia and New Zealand, with over 250 locations providing tailored storage solutions to over 97,000 residential and commercial customers.

The team at Citi has been pleased with the company's performance in recent times and believes it is well-positioned to grow its dividend.

The broker is forecasting dividends per share of 11.3 cents in FY 2025 and then 11.9 cents in FY 2026.  Based on its current share price of $2.37, equates to dividend yields of 4.8% and 5%, respectively, for income investors.

Citi currently has a buy rating and $2.70 price target on its shares.

Stockland Corporation Ltd (ASX: SGP)

Finally, Morgan Stanley thinks that Stockland could be an ASX dividend share to buy right now.

It is one of Australia's largest diversified property companies with a specialty in residential communities, land lease communities, town centres, logistics, and office real estate.

The broker recently named Stockland as its preferred exposure to the residential market and sees it as a top pick for when interest rates fall.

In respect to income, the broker is forecasting dividends per share of 25.4 cents in FY 2025 and then 29.1 cents in FY 2026. Based on the current Stockland share price of $4.85, this represents dividend yields of 5.2% and 6%, respectively.

Morgan Stanley has an overweight rating and $6.35 price target on Stockland's shares.
