Connerton is a census-designated community in Pasco County, Florida, just off U.S. 41. In 2020 it had 5,282 residents, and the area covers about 13 square miles, mostly land.

The land was once Conner Ranch, an 8,000-acre cattle ranch owned by the Conner family. In the early 2000s they sold it to developers who planned more than 15,000 homes and up to three golf courses. The plan was later changed to protect much of the natural land. Construction began a couple of years after sales started in 2005, but the housing downturn slowed things. By 2012, development was moving forward again. In 2019 Lennar Homes became the main land owner after buying the remaining undeveloped land for $26 million.
