Joey Cavalieri is an American writer and editor of comic books. He is best known for his work on the characters Green Arrow and Huntress as well as the co-creation of Helena Bertinelli, the third Huntress, for DC Comics.

Career
Joey Cavalieri attended the School of Visual Arts, graduating with a BFA in Media Arts in 1979.

Cavalieri first joined DC Comics full-time in 1982 after working three years as a freelancer. His writing credits for DC include the Green Arrow back-up feature in Detective Comics; both the pre-Crisis version of the Huntress in a back-up feature in Wonder Woman and the post-Crisis version of the character in an ongoing series; Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! and its spinoff The Oz-Wonderland War; The Flash; and World's Finest Comics. A New Teen Titans drug awareness comic book sponsored by IBM and scripted by Cavalieri was published in cooperation with The President's Drug Awareness Campaign in 1984. That same year, he scripted the Super Powers limited series which tied-in with the Kenner Products toyline of the same name. Cavalieri and artist Jerome K. Moore introduced a new costume for the Black Canary character in Detective Comics #554 (Sept. 1985). In 1985, Cavalieri was one of the contributing writers for the company's 50th anniversary publication Fifty Who Made DC Great. He was group editor of the Marvel 2099 series from 1992 until 1996 and wrote stories for several Marvel titles like Web of Spider-Man, Marvel Comics Presents and The Avengers before returning to DC. The first Black Cat limited series was co-written by Cavalieri and Terry Kavanagh in 1994.

Cavalieri has been recognized for his work with nominations for the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for Favorite Editor every year from 1997 through 2000, and again from 2002 to 2004. In 2005, DC promoted him to Senior Editor.

He also teaches cartooning classes at the School of Visual Arts.
