 - Deprecated :func:`read_gbq` and :meth:`DataFrame.to_gbq`. Use ``pandas_gbq.read_gbq`` and ``pandas_gbq.to_gbq`` instead https://pandas-gbq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html (:issue:`55525`)
 - Deprecated :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.fillna` and :meth:`.SeriesGroupBy.fillna`; use :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.ffill`, :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.bfill` for forward and backward filling or :meth:`.DataFrame.fillna` to fill with a single value (or the Series equivalents) (:issue:`55718`)
 - Deprecated :meth:`Index.format`, use ``index.astype(str)`` or ``index.map(formatter)`` instead (:issue:`55413`)
+- Deprecated ``core.internals`` members ``Block``, ``ExtensionBlock``, and ``DatetimeTZBlock``, use public APIs instead (:issue:`55139`)
 - Deprecated ``year``, ``month``, ``quarter``, ``day``, ``hour``, ``minute``, and ``second`` keywords in the :class:`PeriodIndex` constructor, use :meth:`PeriodIndex.from_fields` instead (:issue:`55960`)
 - Deprecated allowing non-keyword arguments in :meth:`DataFrame.to_clipboard`. (:issue:`54229`)
 - Deprecated allowing non-keyword arguments in :meth:`DataFrame.to_csv` except ``path_or_buf``. (:issue:`54229`)
