Johann Stanety, known as Giovanni Stanetti (1663 – 19 July 1726) was an Austrian sculptor who learned his craft in Venice.
He was born in Oberglogau (Głogówek) near Neustadt (Prudnik), Upper Silesia, which was then part of Austria.
Prince Eugene of Savoy managed to persuade him to move to Vienna, along with his workshop.
Other works include the 1700 relief for the tombstone of Count Siegfried Sarau in the Deutschordenskirche, (Singerstrasse, Vienna), the relief on the gable of the Karlskirche, entitled the Apotheosis of St. Charles Borromeo in memory of the plague (1725), and a further plague monument in Baden bei Wien, featuring Mary Magdalene.
