Bourinot's Rules of Order is a Canadian parliamentary authority first published in 1884 by Sir John George Bourinot, Clerk of the Canadian House of Commons under the title A Canadian Manual on the Procedure at Meetings of Shareholders and Directors of Companies, Conventions, Societies, and Public Assemblies generally. This book was an abridgement of the author's larger work.

The first three printings are identical in title, text, and paging.
The text of the 1918 printing was identical to the previous versions but it was re-paginated to 208 pages and the title was changed to Rules Of Order being a Canadian Manual on the Procedure at Meetings of Shareholders and Directors of Companies, Conventions, Societies and Public Assemblies Generally. This was the first printing to use Rules of Order in the title.
The 1924 printing has the identical text and pagination as the 4th printing, but Bourinot's name is added to the title.
Bourinot's larger work from which this was taken was published in 1884. 1892, 1903, and 1916.[1]
