The collider experiments at the Tevatron and the LHC will allow for detailed investigations of the properties of the top quark. This requires precise predictions of the hadronic production of ti pairs and of their subsequent decays. In this Letter we present for the reactions p(p) over bar, pp --> t(t) over bar + X --> l(+)l(-) + X the first calculation of the dilepton angular distribution at next-to-leading order in the QCD coupling, keeping the full dependence on the spins of the intermediate t(t) over bar state. The angular distribution reflects the degree of correlation of the t and (t) over bar spins which we determine for different choices of t and (t) over bar spin bases. In the case of the Tevatron, the QCD corrections are sizable, and the distribution is quite sensitive to the parton content of the proton.
