Capital punishment in Connecticut formerly existed as an available sanction for a criminal defendant upon conviction for the commission of a capital offense. Since the 1976 United States Supreme Court decision in Gregg v. Georgia until Connecticut repealed capital punishment in 2012, Connecticut had only executed one person, Michael Bruce Ross in 2005. Initially, the 2012 law allowed executions to proceed for those still on death row and convicted under the previous law, but on August 13, 2015, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that applying the death penalty only for past cases was unconstitutional.

- La peine de mort dans le Connecticut est officiellement abolie depuis le 25 avril 2012. La dernière exécution a eu lieu le 13 mai 2005. Cette première abolition étant non rétroactive, les 10 condamnés étant déjà dans le couloir de la mort pouvaient toujours être légalement exécutés, jusqu'à ce que la Cour Suprême du Connecticut abolisse la peine de mort dans tous les cas.
