+```typescript
+toHaveAccessibleErrorMessage(expectedAccessibleErrorMessage?: string | RegExp)
+```
+
+This allows you to assert that an element has the expected
+[accessible error message](https://w3c.github.io/aria/#aria-errormessage).
+
+You can pass the exact string of the expected accessible error message.
+Alternatively, you can perform a partial match by passing a regular expression
+or by using
+[expect.stringContaining](https://jestjs.io/docs/en/expect.html#expectnotstringcontainingstring)/[expect.stringMatching](https://jestjs.io/docs/en/expect.html#expectstringmatchingstring-regexp).
+
+#### Examples
+
+```html
+<input
+  aria-label="Has Error"
+  aria-invalid="true"
+  aria-errormessage="error-message"
+/>
+<div id="error-message" role="alert">This field is invalid</div>
+
+<input aria-label="No Error Attributes" />
+<input
+  aria-label="Not Invalid"
+  aria-invalid="false"
+  aria-errormessage="error-message"
+/>
+```
+
+```js
+// Inputs with Valid Error Messages
+expect(getByRole('textbox', {name: 'Has Error'})).toHaveAccessibleErrorMessage()
+expect(getByRole('textbox', {name: 'Has Error'})).toHaveAccessibleErrorMessage(
+  'This field is invalid',
