소니 스팃(Edward Hammond Boatner Jr., Sonny Stitt, 1924년 2월 2일 ~ 1982년 7월 22일) 또는 서니 스팃은 미국의 비밥/하드 팝 재즈 색소포니스트이다.

Sonny Stitt was an American jazz saxophonist of the bebop/hard bop idiom. Known for his warm tone, he was one of the best-documented saxophonists of his era, recording over 100 albums. He was nicknamed the "Lone Wolf" by jazz critic Dan Morgenstern because of his tendency to rarely work with the same musicians for long despite his relentless touring and devotion to the craft. Stitt was sometimes regarded as a Charlie Parker mimic early in his career, but gradually developed his own sound and style, particularly when performing on the tenor saxophone and even occasionally baritone saxophone.
