DeCordova is a city in Hood County, Texas (USA). According to a 2005 U.S. census estimate, its population is 3,206.

It is a gated residential community located on Lake Granbury, six miles east-southeast of Granbury.

Named for land agent Jacob De Cordova, development of the area began in the late 1960s in conjunction with the construction of Lake Granbury. The new community was intended to serve as a weekend recreational getaway for residents of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

Incorporated on January 15, 2000, DeCordova was the first city in Texas to be incorporated after the turn of the century and claims the title of Texas' "Millennium City".

The city has a mayor-council form of government and all residents are members of the DeCordova Bend Estates Owners Association and the DeCordova Bend Estates Country Club. The Granbury Independent School District serves area students.
