Matt Feazell (b. 1955) is an American cartoonist from Hamtramck, Michigan, primarily working in minicomics. He is best known for his wryly humorous The Amazing Cynicalman series and the simple “stick figure” art style he uses for it. Cynicalman appears in the introduction to Scott McCloud's book Understanding Comics, in which Feazell's work is cited as an example of “iconic” art taken to its greatest degree.

Feazell's comics influences included Jack Kirby, Hank Ketcham, and Will Eisner. In high school he experimented with stick-figure comics, but also developed a more traditional comics style.

He received his B.S. in Community/Fine Arts from Southern Illinois University.

In addition to self-publishing Cynicalman, Feazell's work has been published by Aardvark-Vanaheim, AC Comics, Arrow Comics, Caliber Press, Fictioneer Books, Last Gasp, NBM Publishing, Eclipse Comics, and First Comics. Steeldragon Press published his series Ant-Boy from 1986–1988. From 2004–2007, he was also a regular contributor to Disney Adventures magazine with his strip "Dizzy Adventures."

A regular on the small press comics festival scene, he has appeared at multiple local comic-cons in Michigan.
