There are plenty of ASX dividend stocks out there for income investors to choose from on the Australian share market.

To narrow things down, let's take a look at three that brokers are recommending as buys right now. They are as follows:

Harvey Norman Holdings Limited (ASX: HVN)

Bell Potter thinks that Harvey Norman could be an ASX dividend stock to buy. It is one of Australia's largest home goods and electronics retailers.

The broker likes the company due to its attractive valuation, property earnings, and exposure to the artificial intelligence (AI) megatrend. It sees "improving sales trends in key markets assisted by a sizable upside from the AI driven upgrade cycle/replacement & spend shift to tech."

In respect to income, the broker is forecasting fully franked dividends of 25.4 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 28.1 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current Harvey Norman share price of $5.53, this will mean dividend yields of 4.6% and 5.1%, respectively.

Bell Potter currently has a buy rating and $6.00 price target on its shares.

National Storage REIT (ASX: NSR)

The team at Citi thinks that National Storage could be an ASX dividend stock to buy. It is one of the largest self-storage providers in the ANZ region with over 260 locations. From these locations, it offers tailored storage solutions to almost 100,000 residential and commercial customers.

Citi believes the company is positioned to pay dividends per share of 11.3 cents in FY 2025 and then 11.8 cents in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $2.34, this equates to dividend yields of 4.8% and 5%, respectively.

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

Super Retail Group Ltd (ASX: SUL)

Over at Goldman Sachs, its analysts rate Super Retail as an ASX dividend stock to buy.

It is the diversified retailer behind the BCF, Macpac, Rebel, and Supercheap Auto brands.

Goldman highlights that Super Retail "is one of the few retailers in Australia that has both a space and sales productivity lever that we expect the company to be able to pull."

It expects this to support fully franked dividends of 64 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 66 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $14.34, this represents dividend yields of 4.5% and 4.6%, respectively.

The broker has a buy rating and $15.50 price target on its shares.
