The Branford Connector is an unsigned State Road in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It serves as a connecting road from Interstate 95 (I-95) to U.S. Route 1 (US 1). The roadway has been numbered State Road 794 by the Connecticut Department of Transportation.

State Route 794 connects between I-95 and US 1, entirely within the town of Branford, Connecticut. It is 1.05 miles (1.69 km) long. The route is an urban, minor arterial with one lane in each direction.
