からといってJust because

からといって is a grammar pattern in Japanese comprised of the conjunction particle から 'from', と, and the て-form of the う-Verb 言(い)う 'to say'. It is usually translated to 'just because (A)', and will indicate that the underlying reason of (A) does not necessarily mean that (B) is also true, or that (B) is not good.

As this grammar structure often includes a negative statement in the (B) part of the sentence, the more literal translation is closer to 'from saying that (A), doesn't mean (B)'. This simply focuses the nuance on that (A) does not equal (B), despite what one may think.

からといって may appear after verbs and い-Adjectives, or な-Adjectives and nouns that are followed by だ.

In most cases, からといって will be used for giving strong opinions, or for criticism of someone's actions or behavior.

Caution

It is not rare to see からといって abbreviated as either からとて, or からって. There is no change in meaning in either of these cases, but they are more colloquial.
