デコポンは種の無い甘いマンダリンオレンジの一種である。デコポンは清見と中野3号ポンカンの交配種で1972年に日本で誕生した。デコポンは登録商標で、品種名は生産を始めた地域にちなんで不知火（しらぬひ、しらぬい）と呼ばれる。デコポンはその突き出た頭、甘さ、そして大きさが特徴的である。
デコポンは通常温室ハウスで一定温度で育てられ12月から2月にかけ収穫される。（畑で栽培される場合は3月から4月にかけて収穫される。）収穫後20日～40日はそのまま保存され販売用に糖度を上げ酸度を下げていく。糖度13度、酸度1度以下のもののみがデコポンという名称で販売することができる。
デコポンは熊本県の商標登録名であることから様々な市場名がある。例えば、愛媛県では“ヒメポン”、広島県では“キヨポン”、静岡県では“フジポン”などがある。しかし、手数料を払い厳正な基準をクリアすればどこでもだれでもデコポンを名乗ることができる。

Dekopon is a seedless and sweet variety of mandarin orange. It is a hybrid between Kiyomi and ponkan (Nakano no.3), developed in Japan in 1972.Originally a brand name, 'Dekopon' has become a genericized trademark and it is used to refer to all brands of the fruit; the generic name is shiranuhi or shiranui (不知火). Dekopon is distinctive due to its sweet taste, large size and the large protruding bump on the top of the fruit.
The fruits are usually grown in large greenhouses to keep them at a constant temperature, and are harvested from December to February (winter in Japan), while in the case of garden farming, they are harvested from March to April. After harvesting, dekopon are usually left for a period of 20–40 days so that the levels of citric acid in the fruit lower while the sugar levels increase, to make a more appealing taste for the market. Only products with sugar level above 13°Bx and citric acid below 1.0% can be sold with the name dekopon.
There were many market names for 'dekopon' during the time 'dekopon' was a trademark of the product from Kumamoto. For instance, himepon was the market name for the fruits originating from Ehime prefecture. The ones grown in Hiroshima prefecture were marketed as kiyopon. However, after an agreement whereby anyone can use the name 'dekopon' if they pay a fee and meet certain quality standards, the name "dekopon" is used for products from anywhere in Japan
