We prove a comparison theorem and maximum principle for a local solution of quasi-linear parabolic stochastic PDEs, similar to the well known results in the deterministic case. The proofs are based on a version of Ito's formula and estimates for the positive part of a local solution which is non-positive on the lateral boundary. Moreover we shortly indicate how these results generalize for Burgers type SPDEs.
