The Yankee Institute for Public Policy is a conservative[2][3] American think tank based in Hartford, Connecticut, that researches Connecticut public policy questions. Organized as a 501(c)(3), the group's stated mission is to "develop and advocate for free market, limited government public policy solutions in Connecticut."[4] Yankee was founded in 1984 by Bernard Zimmern, a French entrepreneur who was living in Norwalk, Connecticut, and professor Gerald Gunderson of Trinity College.[4] The organization is a member of the State Policy Network.[5]

In April 2022, the Yankee Institute launched Connecticut Inside Investigator, a non-profit investigative journalism outlet.[6]
