- John Costanza (born August 14, 1943) is a comic book illustrator and letterer. His Star Wars work includes the early issues of the Marvel Star Wars series and Star Wars Annual 1: The Long Hunt. His comics career started at DC Comics as both an illustrator and letterer in the 1960s on such titles as G.I. Combat and House of Mystery. In the 1970s Costanza began drawing comics based on Warner Bros. cartoon characters for Western Publishing and later on for DC Comics, and in the 1980s he illustrated some of the titles in Marvel's Star Comics line.
- He has worked for both of the major giants, Marvel Comics and DC Comics. He began his career in 1965, working as an assistant on the 'Tales of the Green Berets' strip. While at both Marvel and DC, he worked as a letter artist on a number of the Star Trek comics.

Costanza began being credited with Marvel Super Special, Issue 15, which was Marvel's adaptation of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

His work as an artist was often used for cartoony or child-friendly titles, but as a busy letterer, he worked on all kinds of comics. For DC Comics, one of his earliest assignments was fairly straightforward, penciling a 1968 Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen story, but he soon moved to writing and drawing humorous one-page fillers for 1970s titles, including House of Mystery and House of Secrets, war comics, and Aquaman (with the one-shot "Scuba Man" parody). In the 1980s, Costanza lettered for The Dark Knight Returns (and other Batman titles), Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing. Costanza returned to DC in the 1990s, on various Looney Tunes title
