The Gregg Reference Manual: A Manual of Style, Grammar, Usage, and Formatting is a guide to English grammar and style, written by William A. Sabin[1] and published by McGraw-Hill. The book is named after John Robert Gregg. The eleventh ("Tribute") edition was published in 2010.

The book was first published in 1951 as the Reference Manual for Stenographers and Typists by Ruth E. Gavin of the Gregg Publishing Company.

The book is widely used in business and professional circles.[2][3] Neil Holdway, a news editor on the Chicago Daily Herald said the book "can answer the tough grammar questions, and it has provided me with authoritative yet readable explanations I can comfortably pass on to the newsroom when discussing our fair language."[4]
