The Congress of the State of Guanajuato (Spanish: Congreso del Estado de Guanajuato) is the legislative branch of the government of the State of Guanajuato. The Congress is the governmental deliberative body of Guanajuato, which is equal to, and independent of, the executive.

The Congress is unicameral and its current session consists of 36 local deputies (22 elected by the first-past-the-post system and 14 by proportional representation). Deputies are elected to serve for a three-year term.

Since its installation the congress has been renewed 65 times, hence the current session of the Congress of Guanajuato (whose term lasts form to 2024 to 2027) is known as the LXVI Legislature.
