Great Plain is an unincorporated area in the City of Danbury, Fairfield County, Connecticut.

It is located in the northeast section of the city, sharing a border with the Beaverbrook area of Danbury and Brookfield, CT. Named for its broad expanse, Great Plain gained a reputation for fruitful fields and prosperous farmers.

Built in 1856, the Greek Revival one-room schoolhouse served the students of the Great Plain community until the 1940s.
