The 2025 Men's Hockey Asia Cup was the 12th edition of the Men's Hockey Asia Cup, the quadrennial international men's field hockey championship of Asia organized by the Asian Hockey Federation. It was held at the Bihar Sports University Hockey Stadium in Rajgir Sports Complex, India from 29 August to 7 September 2025.[1][2] The tournament returned to its usual four-year cycle after the previous tournament was delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19.

South Korea, the defending champions, finished as runners-up after losing to India in the final.[3] The winning team, India qualified for the 2026 Men's FIH Hockey World Cup.[4][5]

Pakistan withdrew citing security concerns amid the 2025 India–Pakistan crisis and requested a neutral venue, later also withdrawing from the 2025 Junior World Cup in Tamil Nadu, India. They were replaced by Bangladesh.[6] Oman also pulled out due to financial issues and was replaced by Kazakhstan.[7]
