The invention relates to a hydraulic connector for a wiper system, said wiper system also comprising an arm intended to move a blade over the surface to be wiped, a blade (3) and a mechanical connector (10) fixed to said blade in order to attach it to the arm and able to be attached to the arm in a longitudinal movement with respect to said arm, said hydraulic connector (30) having at least one line (31, 32) for supplying a liquid to the blade (3) via the mechanical connector (10). Said hydraulic connector is characterized in that it comprises at least one protuberance (35) able to bear against un element (2a, 2b) of said wiper system in order to align the hydraulic connector (30) on the mechanical connector (10) during said longitudinal movement.
