Declan Walsh (born 1973 or 1974) is an Irish author and journalist who is the chief Africa correspondent for The New York Times. Walsh was expelled from Pakistan in May 2013 but continued covering the country from London. He described the experience in his 2020 book The Nine Lives of Pakistan: Dispatches from a Precarious State.

Walsh's reporting on the Sudanese civil war earned him and the Times' staff the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting.
