governing_body = The Hartford Club is a private members club located in Hartford, Connecticut. It is best known for being the club of Mark Twain, who joined in 1881.

Noted for its ideal premises close to the Connecticut State Capitol and the local insurance industry, the club was founded in 1873 after a series of local clubs amalgamated due to financial woes. It was long regarded as a literary club and boasts several prominent writers amongst its past members, although the club took a dramatic turn and began to serve the political and business community of the state after the First World War. In the 1970s, the club opened its doors to women.

The club's present clubhouse is located at 46 Prospect Street in Hartford. Built in 1901, it was opened on January 1, 1908. It was designed by Robert Andrews of the architectural firm of Andrews, Jacques and Ranford.
