'Punkeydoodles Corners' is an unincorporated hamlet in southwestern Ontario, in Canada, known for its strange name and frequent sign theft. Although primarily located in the township of Wilmot, the hamlet also straddles the municipal boundaries with East Zorra – Tavistock and Perth East, placing it in three different counties. A hamlet is a small settlement, generally one smaller than a village.

The origin of the name is somewhat disputed. Most claims date back to an inn and tavern located at the Corner during the late nineteenth century. The most frequently cited legend claims that the local innkeeper had a habit of singing "Yankee Doodle", which sounded more like "Punkey Doodle" to the tavern guests.

Other stories link the name to an old Victorian word for frittering away time or a nickname given to a lazy pumpkin farmer by his irritated wife. "Corners" refers to both the geographical feature of the intersecting roads as well as the convergence of Waterloo, Oxford, and Perth regional boundaries.

While the spelling and punctuation vary in common usage, the version recognized by both Statistics Canada and the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base is "Punkeydoodles Corners".

The name of the hamlet frequently appears in lists of humorous place names.
