Dichloroisocyanuric acid, also known as dichlor or dichloro-s-triazinetrione and is marketed under many names (e.g. troclosene), is a chemical compound with the formula (C(O)NCl)₂(C(O)NH).

Dichloroisocyanuric acid is manufactured by chlorination of cyanuric acid:

It is a colourless solid.

Dichloroisocyanuric acid is an oxidizer, reacting with water to form hypochlorous acid.

The sodium salt of dichloroisocyanuric acid, sodium dichloroisocyanurate, is the active ingredient in bleach. It is the active ingredient in many commercial disinfectant bacteriocides, algicides, and cleaning agents., for example the powderized cleanser Comet.
