Hyderabad Deccan (Urdu: حیدرآباد دکن), officially the Islamic Republic of Hyderabad Deccan (Urdu: اسلامی جمہوریہ حیدرآباد دکن) is the fifth smallest country in the world, at only 46km2 (29 sq mi) and a South Asian microstate enclaved by the Telugu People's Republic. As well as being one of three doubly landlocked countries in the world, Hyderabad Deccan is also the only doubly enclaved country. Hyderabad Deccan is located in the southern part of the Hyderabad metropolitan area, and has a population of 542,000.

Formerly, Hyderabad Deccan was the location of the historic capital of the Hyderabad State under the British paramountcy then a Princely State of India until the independence of the British dominions in South Asia in 1947. Following the Telangana Uprising and Subsequent Revolution, Hyderabad Deccan was established as a Muslim majority state as opposed to the Telugu People's Republic which is majority Hindu and Telugu speaking. This was agreed in 1950 and is known as the Hyderabad Agreement. Hyderabad is therefore the largest city split between two different countries.
