Connaught Engineering was a British constructor that raced in Formula 1 from 1952 to 1959. Its streamlined Type B took third place at the 1956 Italian Grand Prix with Ron Flockhart, the team's only podium, and drivers such as Archie Scott Brown, Jack Fairman and Roy Salvadori also raced its cars. Connaught started 17 Grands Prix, but it never won a race, and it withdrew from the sport at the end of the 1950s.
