None whatsoever. The Knights Of Columbus are a Catholic public service organization, and entirely above board. The KKK was functionally a terrorist group that in fact persecuted Catholics.
You may be thinking of The Knights of the White Camelia.
Update: There IS a connection between the two groups: in the 1920s the Knights of Columbus actively worked AGAINST the KKK in Oklahoma, who, as stated above, had a history of persecuting American Catholics.
The KKK is not associated with the Knights of Columbus (KofC) in any way. Historically, the KKK is anti-Catholic. The KofC is a worldwide Catholic men's organization. They devote themselves to charitable work and various other charitable and diocesan & parish social and charitable events.
When the Mexican Government began killing Roman Catholics for practicing their faith, the United State Knights of Columbus raised 1 million USD for education, the KKK sent a telegram to the Mexican goverment pledging 10 million to help them murder Catholics.
There is no connection between the two, only a hate group of Protestants only, (They do not let Catholics join, and would like us all to die) and a Catholic only group that does community service.
No, the KKK and the Knights of Columbus are two separate organizations. The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal service organization, while the KKK is a white supremacist hate group. There is no official connection or collaboration between the two.
The knights of Columbus are catholic. The knights of Columbus are catholic.

The only relation between the Knights Templar and the Knights of Columbus are that both organizations are/were approved by the Catholic church, members must be Catholic, and they both use the word Knight. There are no organizations that can legitimately claim the heritage through ancestry to the original order. The order was disband by the church. The Order of the Knights of Malta are the closest in relation and other organizations with the titles of the Knights Templar only do so out of honour and respect.
