Carol Ann Decker (born 10 September 1957) is an English musician. She is best known as the singer and front woman for the band T'Pau, which had international success in the late 1980s. Although Decker's music is mainly associated with the group, she also released a solo single in 1995, "One Heart," in support of the Halifax World Cup Rugby League centenary.

Decker's personal record label is named GnatFish.

Decker was born in Huyton, Merseyside and educated in Wellington, Shropshire, along with other members of the band.

In addition to her musical achievements, Decker has also acted on both stage and screen, including a part in the film, Nine Dead Gay Guys.TV appearances include Hit Me, Baby, One More Time (in which she reached the final round, ultimately being beaten by Shakin' Stevens). Decker also appeared in the British comedy series Trigger Happy TV in which she appeared in a "bull in a china shop" sketch (the joke being that she had previously had a hit with the song, "China in Your Hand"), and in another sketch where she accompanied Dom Joly, as he pretended to be a door-to-door salesman.

Decker took part in the prime time BBC One show Just the Two of Us which began on 2 January 2007. However, despite singing duets with Beverley Knight, Tony Christie and Natasha Hamilton, she and her singing partner Gregg Wallace were the first to be eliminated from the show, after singing the Jackson Five's "Blame It on the Boogie".
