Cornology is a 1992 compilation box set, issued by EMI Records, of the complete recorded output of The Bonzo Dog Band, previously issued on the Parlophone, Liberty and United Artists labels.

The three CDs each have subtitles. Volume One is titled The Intro and contains the albums Gorilla and The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse. Volume Two is subtitled The Outro and contains the albums Tadpoles and Keynsham. Volume Three is titled Dog Ends and contains their final original album Let's Make Up and Be Friendly along with early Bonzo Dog singles, odds and ends and solo material.

In 2011, it was superseded by the Parlophone collection A Dog's Life: The Albums 1967-1972, which contains the same material, with the non-album tracks placed after Let's Make Up instead of around it.
