Deacon is an English translation of the Koine Greek word diakonos found in various places in the New Testament.
In some Christian traditions (Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism, Methodism, etc.) a deacon is a clergy person who usually serves a local church or churches and who has been ordained to a ministry of Word and Service. In other Christian traditions (Presbyterianism, the Baptists, etc.), a deacon is a lay person charged with serving as an administrator in a local church.
