The Asian Men's Volleyball Cup, also known as the AVC Cup for Men, was an international volleyball competition in Asia and Oceania contested by the top senior men's national teams of the members of Asian Volleyball Confederation, the sport's continent governing body. The tournaments have been awarded every two years since 2008. The champion is China, which won its second title at the 2022 tournament.

The 7 Asian Volleyball Cup tournaments have been won by four different national teams. Iran have won three times. The other Asian Cup winners are China, with two titles; and both South Korea and Qatar, with one title each.

The 2022 Asian Cup was to take place in Taipei, Taiwan, but because of its strict COVID-19 protocols, it was reallocated to Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.[1]

This event should not be confused with the other, continental competition for Asian national volleyball teams, the Asian Volleyball Championship and Asian Volleyball Challenge Cup.
