Massimo Stanzione (also called by Stanzioni) (Orta di Atella, Caserta, c.1586 - Naples, c.1656) was an Italian Baroque painter, mainly active in Naples.

His initial training is unclear; he may have trained with Fabrizio Santafede, but his influences appear to be that of the Carravagists such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Simon Vouet, and Carlo Saraceni. He is called by some the Neapolitan Guido Reni and is part of a movement that moved from the darker and highly contrasted Carravagism of Ribera and Carracciolo to a more Bolognese colorism and softness. Bernardo Cavallino was one of his pupils. He painte frescoes in the chapel of S. Mauro and chapel of Saint John the Baptist in the Certosa di San Martino.
