{{Main articles|List of Asia band members}}
Throughout the years, [[Geoff Downes]] has been the longest serving member of the band and is the only one to appear on every studio album. However, he was out of the band from its 1989 reunion to 1990 due to prior commitments at the time.

The original lineup initially lasted from 1981 until 1983 when [[John Wetton]] left. It was reunited on two occasions: first, one year later when Wetton rejoined, but [[Steve Howe]] left before the band could work together again, and a second time in 2006, when Downes, the last original member in the band, replaced the rest of the band with his original bandmates. This last original reunion lasted until 2013, when Howe left once again. Wetton died from cancer in 2017, making another reunion of the original lineup impossible.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://teamrock.com/news/2017-01-31/john-wetton-dies-aged-67|title=John Wetton dies aged 67|date=31 January 2017|website=Teamrock.com|access-date=4 January 2018}}</ref>

Several musicians have joined and left after a short time without recording any studio material with the group. The most notable collaboration of this kind was the participation of [[Greg Lake]] in the "Asia in Asia" concert on bass guitar and lead vocals. Yet more musicians have played as [[session musician]]s or have guested with the band without formally joining. Some of these artists include: [[Robert Fleischman]], [[Vinnie Colaiuta]], [[Francis Dunnery]], Ant Glynne, [[Scott Gorham]], [[Tomoyasu Hotei]], [[Luís Jardim]], Ron Komie, [[Tony Levin]], [[Steve Lukather]], [[Thomas Lang]], [[Kim Nielsen (guitarist)|Kim Nielsen-Parsons]], [[Nigel Glockler]], [[Simon Phillips (drummer)|Simon Phillips]], and [[Alex Thomas]].
