contents Bessel and modified Bessel functions of imaginary order $iν$ ($ν>0$) are studied. Asymptotic expansions are derived as $ν\to \infty$ that are uniformly valid in unbounded complex domains, with error bounds provided. Coupled with appropriate connection formulas the approximations are uniformly valid for all complex argument. The expansions are of two forms, Liouville-Green type expansions only involving elementary functions, and ones involving Airy functions that are valid at a turning point of the defining differential equation. The new results have coefficients and error bounds that are simpler than in prior expansions, and further are used to construct asymptotic expansions for the zeros of Bessel and modified Bessel functions of large imaginary order, these being uniformly valid without restriction on their size (small or large).
