1D-chiro-Inositol or D-chiro-inositol (often abbreviated DCI) is a chemical substance with formula C₆H₁₂O₆, one of the nine isomers of cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol (which may be collectively called "inositol"). The molecule has a ring of six carbon atoms, each bound to one hydrogen atom and one hydroxyl (OH) group. The hydroxyls on atoms 1, 2, and 4, in counterclockwise order, lie above the plane of the ring. The molecule being distinct from its mirror image, the compound is chiral, hence its name. Its enantiomer (mirror compound) is 1L-chiro-inositol.

Compared to its more common isomer myo-inositol, DCI seems to have relatively minor roles in biochemistry and medicine, mostly connected to the biochemistry of insulin and other hormones.
