Joe Stefanelli, birth name Joseph J. Stefanelli, is an American abstractionist painter of the New York School.

After studying at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1942 to 1946, Joe Stefanelli worked as a military illustrator in the service of the United States Army. In 1947, he enrolled at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in New York City. This art school, opened in 1934, was a major influence on the young artists of the New York School.

Their influence and artistic innovation were recognized worldwide by the 1950s. The New York School of Abstract Expressionism became the leading art movement after World War II.
