Edward Stitt, detto Sonny (Boston, 2 febbraio 1924 – 22 luglio 1982), è stato un sassofonista statunitense (contralto e tenore) di musica jazz. Forse uno degli artisti più legati allo stile bebop di cui fu uno degli aderenti della prima ora, e anche uno tra i più prolifici, incidendo più di 100 album nel corso della sua carriera, collaborando con gran parte dei protagonisti del jazz moderno. Il critico Dan Morgenstern lo aveva soprannominato "Lupo Solitario" per il suo essere continuamente in tour e per la sua devozione al jazz.
