Marc Silvestri is an American comic book artist and publisher. He began his career at Marvel Comics, and is best-known as the penciller of Uncanny X-Men between 1987 and 1990. He then spent two years pencilling its spin-off title Wolverine.

In 1992 Silvestri became one of the original six artists - along with Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio, Rob Liefeld, Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane and Jim Valentino - to form the breakaway comics company Image Comics. Silvestri's stable of titles was published under the imprint Top Cow. Increasingly, dealing with publishing meant Silvestri had little time for drawing himself.

Top Cow successes include the titles Witchblade and The Darkness.

In 2004 Silvestri made a brief return to Marvel to pencil several issues of X-Men, collaborating with writer Grant Morrison.
