A cello sonata is piece written sonata form, often with the instrumentation of a cello taking solo role with piano accompaniment.[1] Some of the earliest cello sonatas were composed in the 18th century by Francesco Geminiani and Antonio Vivaldi, and since then other famous cello sonatas have grown to those by Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Sergei Rachmaninoff among others.

The following list contains cello sonatas with or without accompanying instruments. See the See also list for more comprehensive lists divided up into solo and accompanied works.
