The Guards Machine Gun Regiment was a regiment of the British Army, formed for service in the First World War.
When the Guards Division was formed in August 1915, it included three machine gun companies, with a fourth added in March 1917. In April 1917, the four companies were grouped together as a single battalion named the Machine Gun Guards, before being re-designated by Royal Warrant in May 1918 as the Guards Machine Gun Regiment. In June, the regiment was reorganised into battalions.
The regiment does not have any battle honours of its own as these were awarded to the parent units.
