To the Bone is a 1994 album by English rock group The Kinks. It was the band's final release before their breakup in 1996.

Included are concert recordings plus live-in-studio acoustic reworkings of other songs, a popular trend in the 1990s among established acts due to MTV's Unplugged. In 1996, an expanded double CD-version with 29 tracks was released. Two tracks on the shorter UK issue, "Waterloo Sunset" and "Autumn Almanac", were omitted from the double-disc US version.
