Aurelio Bonelli (c.1569 – c.1620) was an Italian composer, organist and painter. Born in Bologna, little is known about him save that he was student of the painter Agostino Carracci.  In 1601 Bonelli took Adriano Banchieri’s job as organist at San Michele in Bosco.

Bonelli is known to have worked as organist in Milan and in 1620 he was organist of San Giovanni in Monte, Bologna.

Bonelli published at least one a volume of three-part Villanelle, a book of masses and motets, and his Il Primo Libro de Ricercari et canzoni a quattro voci con due toccate e doi dialoghi a otto – a collection of ricercars, canzonas, toccatas and eight-part madrigals published in Venice in 1602.
