November could be a great time to add some quality dividend shares to your portfolio ahead of the new year.
If I were looking to boost my passive income in 2027, here are three ASX shares I'd be considering.

APA Group (ASX: APA)
The first ASX dividend share on my shortlist for passive income is energy infrastructure company APA Group.
APA owns and operates an extensive portfolio of energy infrastructure assets, including natural gas pipelines, electricity transmission assets, and energy storage facilities.
Many of its assets benefit from long-term contracts and inflation-linked revenue arrangements, helping provide relatively predictable cash flows.
This has supported a long history of dividend increases, and management expects that trend to continue in FY 2027.
In fact, APA is forecasting dividends of 59 cents per share for the financial year, up from 58 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on its current share price, this would mean a dividend yield of approximately 5.3%.
Although its substantial infrastructure investment requirements and debt obligations need monitoring, I think APA's established asset portfolio and growing earnings outlook make it an appealing option for investors seeking passive income.
Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL)
Another ASX dividend share I'd buy in November is supermarket operator Coles.
Coles has some attractive qualities for income investors. Its supermarkets generate substantial recurring revenue, and demand for groceries tends to remain resilient even when economic conditions become challenging.
Pleasingly, the company has also been making progress with its profitability. In FY 2026, Coles reported a 9.9% increase in group operating profit, excluding significant items, and lifted its fully franked annual dividend by 13% to 78 cents per share.
This represents a dividend yield of approximately 3.5% at recent prices.
And with its investments in automation, technology, and operational efficiency expected to deliver further benefits, I believe Coles has opportunities to grow earnings and dividends over the coming years.
Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS)
A final ASX dividend share I'd buy is telecommunications giant Telstra.
I think Telstra has become an increasingly attractive option for income investors thanks to its improving earnings, strong market position, and commitment to growing shareholder returns.
The company delivered a solid result in FY 2026, with underlying cash earnings per share increasing 14% to 25.5 cents. This supported a 10.5% increase in its annual dividend to 21 cents per share.
At recent prices, that represents a dividend yield of approximately 4.1%, excluding any potential benefits of franking credits.
Looking ahead, I think Telstra's continued investment in its mobile network, cost discipline, and growing cash earnings could support further dividend increases in FY 2027 and beyond.
With telecommunications services remaining essential for households and businesses, I think Telstra could be a dependable source of passive income for many years.
