In this article, we introduce the notion of pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first and second kinds and study surfaces of revolution with such Gauss map. Our main results state that surfaces of revolution with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind coincide with surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature; and the right cones are the only rational surfaces of revolution with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the second kind.
