The invention belongs to the technical field of coal chemical industry, and particularly relates to a method and a device for separating various phenols from middle-low-temperature coal tar crude phenols. The method includes a pretreatment step and a mixed phenol separation step, the pretreatment step includes performing dehydration, light component removal, heavy component removal and pyridine compound removal treatment on the middle-low-temperature coal tar crude phenols to obtain pretreated mixed phenols, and the mixed phenol separation step includes separating phenols, orthocresol, 2, 6-dimethylphenol and cresol in the pretreated mixed phenols. The device comprises a pretreatment system and a continuous rectification system, the pretreatment system comprises a dehydrating tower, a light component removal tower, a heavy component removal tower and a pyridine extraction device which are sequentially connected, and the continuous rectification system comprises a phenol refining tower,a orthocresol refining tower, 2, 6-dimethylphenol refining tower, a cresol tower and a cresol refining tower which are sequentially connected. According to the method and the device, the middle-low-temperature coal tar crude phenols are separated to obtain the phenol, the orthocresol, the 2, 6-dimethylphenol and the cresol.
