Longines Symphonette may refer to:
- A record label (the Longines Symphonette Society), owned by the Longines watch company, which specialized in releasing classic radio programs and multiple-record box sets [1];
- A symphony orchestra sponsored by Longines, which produced many recordings for the record label;
- A trade name of electronic devices, including transistor radios [2] [3], televisions [4], and electronic calculators (produced by Texas Instruments) [5] [6].

The name "Longines Symphonette" is often known through being referenced in the song "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants, as something that is "infinite" and "doesn't rest". It may refer to the record label's prolific output, the orchestra's numerous recordings, or to the longevity of devices of that brand.
