The Deccan Chronicle is an English language newspaper simultaneously published in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu in India. The newspaper takes its name from its place of origination, the Deccan region.

In terms of readership, it is India's fourth^{[citation needed]} largest English language newspaper. M. J. Akbar, a noted Indian journalist, is the chief editor of the Deccan Chronicle. It has an ABC certified circulation of 9.02 lakhs (902,000). (6.07 lakhs(607,000) in AP and 2.95 lakhs (295,000) in Chennai)

The Chennai edition, the newspaper's first edition published outside Andhra Pradesh, appeared on 28th March, 2005. It is priced at Indian rupee Re.1, equivalent to ~¢2 USD. The cover price was revised to Re.1.50 in April 2006.

One of the interesting features of the newspaper are its cartoons. It has two cartoonists, Subhani and Sudhir Tailang. The cartoons of Subhani appear daily on the front page as Counterpoint. The cartoons of Sudhir Tailang appear in the inside pages. The "Deccan Chronicle" is Hyderabad's largest circulated daily. Though The Hindu and The Times of India enjoy a formidable presence, the Deccan Chronicle has a strong hold in Hyderabad. The newspaper also publishes articles from other newspapers and magazines like The New York Times and The Spectator.

Also called "DC" by most Hyderabadis, the newspaper's main office is on Sarojini Devi Road, near to the "Clock Tower" and Hotel Basera in Hyderabad's twin city of Secunderabad.

Deccan Chronicle is known to be biased with its own agenda. Sometimes, it condones illegal activities if they are associated with people belonging to Congress party. For instance, following is a news snippet on December 12, 2006 in Deccan Chronicle about Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister relinquishing land which he owned illegally for 30 years after the Land Celing Act came into existence.
