The Connaught is a five-star hotel on the corner of Carlos Place and Mount Street in Mayfair, London. It is owned and managed by the Maybourne Hotel Group.

La Liste's 2025 ranking of the ten best hotels in the world lists it at No. 2. Time Out, reporting the list, describes it as known for its butler service.

The hotel opened in 1815 as the Prince of Saxe-Coburg Hotel, was rebuilt and reopened as the Coburg in 1897, and took the name Connaught in 1917, after Queen Victoria's son the Duke of Connaught. A £70 million restoration led by the designer Guy Oliver began in 2007. Its Connaught Bar, run by Agostino Perrone, won World's Best Cocktail Bar at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards in 2012 and 2016, and the French chef Hélène Darroze took over its restaurant.
