Gonzo may refer to:
Gonzo (circus) is a Flemish bi-monthly culture and music magazine, first published in 1991 in Belgium. It is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The magazine primarily focuses on contemporary musical genres such as jazz, improvised music, modern classical music, rock, noise, electronic music and world music.

Gonzo, also known as The Great Gonzo and Gonzo the Great, is a Muppet character known for his eccentric passion for stunt performance. Aside for his trademark enthusiasm for performance art, another defining trait of Gonzo's is the ambiguity of his species, which has become a running gag in the franchise. Commonly referred to as a "whatever" and a "weirdo", Gonzo has been considered to be of various origins; including a Frackle, in his debut appearance on The Great Santa Claus Switch; an avian creature, in the majority of his portrayals; to even extraterrestrial in Muppets from Space, the only Muppet film to feature a character other than Kermit the Frog as the protagonist.
Developed and performed by Dave Goelz, Gonzo made his first appearance in the 1970 special The Great Santa Claus Switch, as the "Cigar Box Frackle". Originally a minor figure in The Muppet Show, he soon evolved into one of the franchise's primary characters. Gonzo has appeared in every Muppet film, including The Muppet Christmas Carol, where he portrayed author Charles Dickens.
