The Directors Guild of Canada (DGC) is a Canadian labour union, founded in 1962, which represents more than 4,800 professionals from 48 different occupations in the Canadian film and television industry. The DGC represents directors, editors, assistant directors, location managers, production assistants and others.

The "DGC" has district councils in the following provinces; British Columbia, Alberta, Sakatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic. However, in Quebec certain positions are represented by other unions such as IATSE 514 and the Quebec union "AQTIS". Each district council has written its own specific Standard Agreement to represent its members.[1][2]

The National Office for the Directors Guild of Canada is located on Peter Street, Toronto, Ontario.
