Ornitologie is 'n tak van dierkunde wat voëls bestudeer.
Die woord is afgelei vanaf Grieks: ὄρνις of ὄρνιθος, ornis of ornithos, "voël"; en λόγος, logos, "kennis". Dit behels die klassifikasie van verskillende voëls, waarneming van gedrag, trekgewoontes, geluide en vliegwyses.
'n Ornitoloog is dus 'n voëlkenner.
