Stuart Immonen is a Canadian comic book artist.

Immonen studied at Toronto's York University, pursuing a career in art. In 1988, he self-published a series called "Playground"; it was his first published work. He worked at several smaller comic book companies before being hired by DC Comics and Marvel Comics in 1993. Since then, Immonen has drawn such high-profile characters as Superman, Hulk, the Legion of Super Heroes, and the X-Men. His recent work includes stints on the titles "Ultimate Fantastic Four" and "Ultimate X-Men" with writers Warren Ellis and Brian K. Vaughan, as well as a 12-issue run pencilling "Nextwave", which again paired him with Warren Ellis.

Stuart Immonen has also done work for Top Cow and Image Comics.

In 2005, Immonen published "50 Reasons to Stop Sketching at Conventions", a series of fifty comics that gently detail why he no longer does sketches for fans. Besides self-publishing, Immonen also maintains a webcomic called "Never as Bad as You Think" which is co-authored by his wife, Kathryn.

On October 23, 2006, Immonen was confirmed as the new artist on Marvel Comics" Ultimate Spider-Man" starting with issue #111. [cite web |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=11031 |title="ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN" BEGINS A NEW ERA |accessdate=2007-07-24]
