Route 55 is a state highway in the western part of the U.S. state of Connecticut, running from the New York state line in Sherman to New Milford. It functions as an extension of New York State Route 55 to US 7.

Route 55 begins at the New York state line in rural northern Sherman, connecting with New York State Route 55 in the hamlet of Webatuck (ultimately leading to New York State Route 22). It travels eastward for 1.6 miles (2.6 km) then intersects with the northern end of Route 39, which leads to the town center of Sherman. Route 55 continues east for another 0.2 miles (0.32 km), entering New Milford for about 0.1-mile (0.16 km), then briefly crossing back into Sherman for another 0.1-mile (0.16 km), before returning to New Milford. Route 55 becomes Webatuck Road in New Milford, running for another 0.6 miles (0.97 km) until it ends in the Gaylordsville section of New Milford at an intersection with US 7 near the Housatonic River. Within the town of Sherman, Route 55 has no street name and is known simply as "Route 55". Route 55 is a rural collector road and carries average daily traffic volumes of 3,100 between Route 39 and US 7.
