The hinged chute and connector for a downspout is a device that is adapted to attach to a bottom end of a downspout. Moreover, the hinged chute is pivotably engaged with respect to the connector. The connector is affixed to the bottom end of the downspout. The hinged chute is able to rotate down when in use, and rotate up when not in use. A strap is used to encircle both the downspout and the hinged chute in an up position when the hinged chute is not in use. The hinged chute pivots with respect to the connector via a rod and a wing nut. The hinged chute is able to rotate down to an in-use position when rainwater is delivered via the downspout.
