José Delbo (December 9, 1933–February 5, 2024) was an Argentinian-born artist who worked in the American comics field for over 30 years. He joined the original Marvel Transformers comic series in 1988 as its penciller and continued through 1990. With 25 issues to his credit, he was the single most-prolific artist on the series. Before working for Marvel, Delbo worked for rival DC Comics on their Wonder Woman and Batgirl titles.

He quit the US Transformers title following issue #67 at the request of Marvel Comics's editorial department, who instead wanted him to draw a new comic series titled Brute Force, which saw him reunited with writer Simon Furman, who had also been the writer of the US Transformers title since issue #56. Brute Force was an attempt by Marvel to create a property with the specific intention of pitching it to a toy company, thereby reversing the usual licensing relationship to Marvel's advantage. However, no toy manufacturer was interested, and Brute Force was discontinued after the initial four-issue limited series.

José Delbo is frequently credited as 'Jose Delbo' due to English speakers' difficulty with [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}diacritic|{{#if:||diacritic}}]]s.
