North Connel is a hamlet on the north side of Loch Etive in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

Connel Bridge connects the community to Connel on the south shore of the loch, approximately 7 kilometres from Oban. [1] While the bridge belonged to British Rail, a toll was charged to cross and it closed at night.[ citation needed ] Once sparsely populated, the number of houses in North Connel quickly increased after the bridge was handed over to Argyllshire County Council in the late 1960s.[ citation needed ]

Oban Airport or Connel Airfield is nearby. [2]
