New York Connection is an album by American musician Tom Scott released on Ode Records in December 1975 (as Ode SP-77033), with a UK release following in April 1976. It entered the Billboard 200 on 20 December to begin a chart stay of 25 weeks, peaking at number 42.

Following their North American tour together in November−December 1974, George Harrison also makes a contribution, on the track "Appolonia (Foxtrata)".
