The Connecticut field pumpkin (C. pepo) is a type of pumpkin. It is an heirloom variety, the "standard"[2][3] and "classic"[4][5] pumpkin, "one of the oldest pumpkins in existence".[6] Widely used for autumn decorations, either whole or as jack-o'-lanterns,[7] it is also suitable for culinary purposes, but not preferable.[8] Said to differ little from winter squash grown by Native Americans in pre-Columbian times,{{r|USDA1}}[9] the name "Connecticut field" references the area where the ancestral variety was found,[10] as well as the traditional system of planting pumpkins in corn fields.{{R|USDA1}}

Like most pumpkins, the Connecticut field pumpkin is large ({{convert|15-25|lb|kg}}),[11][12] round, and orange, with smooth, slightly ribbed skin.{{r|UoF1}}{{r|UoF2}}

The "New England pie pumpkin", also known as the "small sugar pumpkin", which is smaller in size but considered to have superior cooking properties,{{r|LAT}} is said to be taken from a strain of this cultivar.[13][14] The Howden pumpkin is a strain selected from Connecticut field pumpkins for improved production and uniformity of fruits,[15][16] and is described as "the original commercial jack-o’-lantern pumpkin".{{r|Mass}}
