Air Zonk is a 1992 scrolling shooter video game developed by Red Company with assistance from Naxat Soft and published by Hudson Soft for the TurboGrafx-16. It was an effort to update the company's image with a modern, punkish character named Zonk, who bears a deliberate resemblance to the TurboGrafx-16's caveman mascot, Bonk.

The game was developed by Red Company, the original creators of the Bonk series, and also known for their Gate of Thunder series. Air Zonk features King Drool, the antagonist of the Bonk series, along with many other enemies from that series. A sequel, Super Air Zonk: Rockabilly-Paradise, was released in 1993 for the TurboDuo and has been made available on the Wii's Virtual Console.
