AsiaOne.com is a Singaporean news and lifestyle website and news aggregator. It is Singapore's first pure play digital content platform, serving readers primarily in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.[1] AsiaOne was launched in 1995 by Singapore Press Holdings. On 5 June 2000, SPH AsiaOne Ltd was listed on the Singapore Exchange.[2] It was delisted on 24 January 2002.[3][4]

In 2018, AsiaOne was partially acquired by mm2 Asia, and operated as a joint venture between mm2 Asia and SPH Media.[5]

AsiaOne was revamped in July 2021, focusing on being "Off Centre, On Trend".[6] The website has had one of the largest readerships in Singapore,[7] having been listed in 2019 as the country’s fourth most popular news site.[8]

AsiaOne won the Silver award for the Best News Website Or Mobile Service for its NewsLite service in 2021 at the WAN-IFRA Asian Digital Media Awards.[9] The site itself also nominates the most prominent business leaders and ASEAN-friendly diplomats for prestigious awards each year.[10][11]

In December 2022, AsiaOne completed a private buyout, with mm2 Asia and SPH Media remaining minority shareholders.[12]
