Connex South Central was a short-lived train operating company in the United Kingdom. It was owned by the Connex Group, and operated under the Connex brand between October 1996 until mid 2001.
Passenger trains served Surrey, Sussex and parts of Hampshire. The network was previously part of the Southern Region of British Railways and later Network SouthEast. Prior to privatisation, the part of Network SouthEast which was to become Connex South Central was known as Network SouthCentral. Services used the London termini of Victoria and London Bridge.
The franchise was originally due to run until 2006, but Connex South Central lost the franchise in October 2000. It was later awarded to Govia, who rebranded the line as South Central.
