Guernica Editions is a Canadian independent publisher established in Montreal, Quebec, in 1978, by Antonio D'Alfonso. Guernica specializes in Canadian literature, poetry, fiction and nonfiction.

Guernica's current publishers are Connie McParland (Montreal) and editor in chief Michael Mirolla (Toronto).

Guernica Editions began as a bilingual press and in the first decade published works in English and in French. It also published many Quebec authors in English translations. They include : Nicole Brossard, Jacques Brault, Yolanda Villemaire, Rejean Ducharme and Suzanne Jacob.

In 1994, Guernica Editions moved operations from Montreal to Toronto and focused on English language books and only occasionally printed books in French.

One of Guernica's significant contributions to Canadian letters is its promotion of ethnic minority writers including Italian-Canadian authors, Dutch, Arab, Greek, and African-Canadian writers and others. (Clarke 2012)
