    This study reviews the research on board diversity in ASEAN countries. A total of 326 articles published from 1996 to 2018 were obtained from Scopus citation database. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to map the knowledge base and intellectual structure of board diversity in the ASEAN region. Findings indicate that the publication of papers in this area of studies started to grow from early 2000. The active journals that publish articles within the domain of board diversity in ASEAN countries are mostly from university publishers, which have low citation count per document. The highest cited documents were published under Emerald and Elsevier. Influential authors who focused on board diversity come from Malaysia and Indonesia countries. Studies focusing in other ASEAN countries are limited. The hotspot topic was limited to observable attributes of board diversity, namely gender, age, and ethnicity. The literature that measured non-observable attributes of board diversity were lacking in the literature. Moreover, studies on ownership structure mostly focus on family ownership and foreign ownership. Only a few studies were done on government ownership and politically connected board. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is one of the first bibliometric reviews conducted on board diversity in ASEAN countries. This study outlines the direction for future research with the aim to support the integration of good corporate governance practices in ASEAN.
