The Association for Scottish Literary Studies (ASLS) is a Scottish educational charity, founded in 1970 to promote and support the teaching, study and writing of Scottish literature. Originally based at the University of Aberdeen, it moved in 1996 to its current home within the University of Glasgow. ASLS produces a number of periodicals, including Scottish Studies Review, a peer reviewed journal of Scottish literature and cultural studies; Scottish Language, a peer reviewed journal of Scottish languages and linguistics; The International Journal of Scottish Literature, a free online peer reviewed journal; and The Bottle Imp, a free online ezine.

ASLS also publishes the Scotnotes series of study guides to Scottish writers and their literary works, and has republished a number of out of print Scottish texts in their Annual Volumes series. Since its first issue in 1983, several contemporary Scottish writers have had early work published in ASLS's annual anthology of new short fiction and poetry, New Writing Scotland, including Irvine Welsh, Janice Galloway, Ian Rankin, Iain Banks, Anne Donovan, A L Kennedy and others.

Since 2004, ASLS has mounted the Scottish Writing Exhibition, in partnership with Scottish Language Dictionaries, at the Modern Language Association of America's annual conventions in the USA.
