The Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut presides over the Connecticut Senate and assumes the office of governor in case of resignation, removal from office, or death.

The constitution provides for the election of a lieutenant governor, for the same term as the governor. The two offices are elected on the same ticket; this provision was added in 1962. In the event of a vacancy in the office of governor, the lieutenant governor becomes governor. Before the adoption of the 1965 constitution, the lieutenant governor only acted as governor.

The current Lieutenant Governor is Michael Fedele.
