Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians. The two groups of animals are only distantly related but have traditionally been placed together as a research discipline, particularly in museums. The herpetology collection of the Australian Museum is extensive and broadly based, and includes a number of specimens of historical significance. Research at the Museum in recent years has focused on lizards, the richest and most diverse group of reptiles in Australia.

Scientific information and oversight was provided for Herpetology by Ross Sadlier and Allen Greer.
