"Connect the Dots" is a song by American rock band New Found Glory, serving as a limited edition single from their first live album Kill It Live (2013). The single was released on September 10 via Violently Happy Records, a partnership between independent label Bridge Nine Records and the bands guitarist Chad Gilbert.

The single was announced in August and later released as a digital download on September 10, before a 7" vinyl limited to just 1,000 pressings across three variants on September 17. The single features title track "Connect the Dots" (one of three new studio recordings specifically for Kill It Live), as well as live recordings of "Truck Stop Blues" and "Better Off Dead", which were not included in the final cut of the full album. The band had performed two sold-out dates at the Chain Reaction music venue in Anaheim, California between March 27—28, 2013.
