The 4th Guards Brigade was an infantry formation of the British Army during World War I. It was formed from battalions withdrawn from the Guards Division and served with the 31st Division on the Western Front during the last year of the war. It fought during the German spring offensive, distinguishing itself at the Defence of Nieppe Forest. Taken out of the line after its heavy casualties, the brigade spent the last months of the war as General Headquarters Troops, including a period as a motorised column, before being broken up in the Guards Division after the Armistice.
