A method and a detection circuit for selecting a touch detection time are provided. The method for selecting a touch detection time includes the following steps: detecting a noise signal of a touch panel in a first display frame period; determining whether signal strength of the noise signal in a first time segment in the first display frame period is greater than a first noise threshold; and when the signal strength of the noise signal in the first time segment in the first display frame period is less than the first noise threshold, performing touch control in a second time segment in a second display frame period corresponding to the first time segment.
