Danbury is a city in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States.

The 2000 census measured the population at 74,848, but a July 1, 2005, update put it at 78,736. In 2005, Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said the city actually numbers around near 90,000, due to recent immigration from Ecuadorand Brazil. Unofficial estimate is that there are 5,000 Ecuadorians (mostly from the Andes province of Azuay) and 15,000 Brazilians (mostly from the southeastern state of Minas Gerais).

Danbury is one of the fastest-growing cities in Connecticut, possibly because the cost of living is relatively low compared to other regions within rail-commuting distance of New York City (via Metro North).

Danbury is home to Western Connecticut State University.
