A gain-controlled amplifier capable of dealing with the system for performing the receiving operation continuously, and capable of correcting a change of a DC offset owing to an operation condition such as temperature; a receiver circuit using the gain-controlled amplifier; and a radio communication device installing the receiver circuit. In a gain-controlled amplifier composed of three GCA stages (11) (13) connected by cascade connection, the center value of an output DC of each GCA stage (11) (13) is kept to be constant by a common feedback circuit (16) (18) provided correspondingly to each of the GCA stages (11) (13), and a DC feedback quantity is made to be changed according to a gain control voltage VG by means of a DC feedback circuit (19) provided between an output side of a last stage of the GCA stages and an input side of a first stage of the GCA stages.
