Conne was a community in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada located on the Northern shore of Fortune Bay. It was first reported to be settled in 1836, in the first Census of Newfoundland with sixteen inhabitants. It was a severely isolated settlement, which had no church or school and very little land for growing crops, and it based its existence on the inshore fishery of cod, lobster, salmon and herring.
