The Connecticut Tigers are a minor league baseball team located in Norwich, Connecticut. They are members of the New York–Penn League (NYPL). The Connecticut Tigers are a Short-Season A classification affiliate of the Detroit Tigers and play their home games at Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium. They were previously known as the Oneonta Tigers.

The Tigers ensure affiliated baseball will stay in Norwich despite the relocation of the former Double-A Eastern League's Connecticut Defenders to Richmond, Virginia, where they are now called the Richmond Flying Squirrels.

This franchise originated in Wellsville, New York as the Wellsville Yankees. From its inception in 1942 until 1965, that team stayed in Wellsville under various names, such as the Wellsville Nitros, Rockets, Senators, Braves, and Red Sox. During its time as a farm club of the New York Yankees, Milwaukee Braves and Boston Red Sox, Wellsville hosted future Major Leaguers such as eventual Hall of Famer Phil Niekro, Jerry Coleman, Tony Conigliaro, Joe Foy, Jim Greengrass, Elrod Hendricks, Charlie Maxwell, Don Nottebart, Bill Robinson and George Scott.
