Ryerson Press was a Canadian book publishing company, active from 1919 to 1970.[1] First established by the Methodist Book Room, a division of the Methodist Church of Canada,[2] and operated by the United Church Publishing House after the Methodist Church's merger into the United Church of Canada in 1925,[1] the imprint specialized in historical, educational and literary titles.

In 1970, the United Church Publishing House sold its trade publishing arm to McGraw-Hill, whose Canadian division was renamed McGraw-Hill Ryerson.[1] All outstanding shares of McGraw-Hill Ryerson were acquired by McGraw-Hill Education in 2014.[3] The UCPH still publishes religious titles under its own name, but no longer operates as a general market publisher of non-religious titles.
