+  default) or `true`, gazelle will inject any `conftest.py` file found in the same
+  directory as a {obj}`py_test` target to that {obj}`py_test` target's `deps`.
+  This behavior is unchanged from previous versions. When `false`, the `:conftest`
+  dep is not added to the {obj}`py_test` target.
 * (gazelle) New directive `gazelle:python_generate_proto`; when `true`,
   Gazelle generates `py_proto_library` rules for `proto_library`. `false` by default.

+#### Annotation: `include_pytest_conftest`
+
+Added in [#3080][gh3080].
+
+[gh3080]: https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/pull/3080
+
+This annotation accepts any string that can be parsed by go's
+[`strconv.ParseBool`][ParseBool]. If an unparsable string is passed, the
+annotation is ignored.
+
+[ParseBool]: https://pkg.go.dev/strconv#ParseBool
+
+Starting with [`rules_python` 0.14.0][rules-python-0.14.0] (specifically [PR #879][gh879]),
+Gazelle will include a `:conftest` dependency to an `py_test` target that is in
+the same directory as `conftest.py`.
+
+[rules-python-0.14.0]: https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/releases/tag/0.14.0
+[gh879]: https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/pull/879
+
+This annotation allows users to adjust that behavior. To disable the behavior, set
+the annotation value to "false":
+
+```
+# some_file_test.py
+# gazelle:include_pytest_conftest false
+```
+
+Example:
+
+Given a directory tree like:
+
+```
+.
+├── BUILD.bazel
+├── conftest.py
+└── some_file_test.py
+```
+
+The default Gazelle behavior would create:
+
+```starlark
+py_library(
+    name = "conftest",
+    testonly = True,
+    srcs = ["conftest.py"],
+    visibility = ["//:__subpackages__"],
+)
+
+py_test(
+    name = "some_file_test",
+    srcs = ["some_file_test.py"],
+    deps = [":conftest"],
+)
+```
+
+When `# gazelle:include_pytest_conftest false` is found in `some_file_test.py`
+
+```python
+# some_file_test.py
+# gazelle:include_pytest_conftest false
+```
+
+Gazelle will generate:
+
+```starlark
+py_library(
+    name = "conftest",
+    testonly = True,
+    srcs = ["conftest.py"],
+    visibility = ["//:__subpackages__"],
+)
+
+py_test(
+    name = "some_file_test",
+    srcs = ["some_file_test.py"],
+)
+```

++ `import conftest` will still add the dep even when `include_pytest_conftest` is
