Disqus (/dɪsˈkʌs/) is an American blog comment hosting service for websites and online communities that use a networked platform. The company's platform includes various features, such as social integration, social networking, user profiles, spam and moderation tools, analytics, email notifications, and mobile commenting. It was founded in 2007 by Daniel Ha and Jason Yan as a Y Combinator startup.

In 2011, Disqus was ranked No. 2 in Quantcast's U.S. networks with 151 million monthly unique U.S. visits.[2] Disqus was featured on CNN, The Daily Telegraph, and IGN, and about 750,000 blogs and websites.[3]
