La mà de Guido is a Catalan music publishing house in Barcelona, Spain founded in 1986 by the composer and musicologist Llorenç Balsach (b. 1953).
The name La Mà de Guido comes from the Catalan translation of the Guidonian hand.
The primary notability of La Mà de Guido is in the publishing of music scores and editions for Catalan composers, living and dead. The music publishing house also owns a recording label; this is primarily reviving the works of Catalan composers, but also recordings by Catalan musicians of other Iberian music, and archive historical recordings. The label also distributes the Ars Harmonica label.
