Guatemalan Democratic Vanguard (in Spanish: Vanguardia Democrática Guatemalteca) was a leftwing group in Guatemala. VDG was founded in 1947 as a fraction within the ruling Revolutionary Action Party (PAR). The leader of VDG was José Manuel Fortuny.
In 1949 VDG broke with PAR and constituted the Communist Party of Guatemala (PCG).
