Stirling numbers of the second kind and Bell numbers for graphs were defined by Duncan and Peele in 2009. In a previous paper, one of us, jointly with Nyul, extended the known results for these special numbers by giving new identities, and provided a list of explicit expressions for Stirling numbers of the second kind and Bell numbers for particular graphs. In this work we introduce q-Stirling numbers of the second kind and q-Bell numbers for graphs, and provide a number of explicit examples. Connections are made to q-binomial coefficients and q-Fibonacci numbers.
