Connor Downs is a village in western Cornwall, near Gwinear and Gwithian, in whose joint civil parish it falls. The village is about two miles east of Hayle and about two miles south-southeast of Gwithian churchtown.
The name "Connor" was originally the name of Connerton, the mediæval manor of the parish of Gwithian.
[[File:]] The village straddles the old course of the A30 road but has now been bypassed and the new road passes to the north. Facilities include a school (Connor Downs Primary School), a petrol station and a fish-and-chip shop.
