Connello Upper (Irish: Conallaigh Uachtaracha; sometimes Upper Connello, and occasionally spelled Conello) is a historical barony in southern County Limerick, Ireland.

Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.
