John Arthur Stump (March 24, 1944 – January 20, 2006) was an American music engraver and composer. He is best known for his satirical compositions which feature a variety of musical notation jokes, including most prominently Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz (from "A Tribute to Zdenko G. Fibich") (1980). Those works have become well-known among musicians and have been distributed widely, often as posters in rehearsal spaces. Stump was extremely shy, and his identity as the author of Faerie's Aire was not publicly established until after his death.
