Direct Action: Memoirs of an Urban Guerrilla is a book written by the Canadian anarchist Ann Hansen after she had been incarcerated for eight years for the bombing of the Litton Industries about the urban guerrilla Direct Action (also known as Squamish Five and Vancouver Five). In the book, Hansen concedes tactical mistakes, but maintains the necessity of militant opposition to capitalist states.

It was published by the anarchist book publisher AK Press on January 1, 2001. An audio release on CD was released by the left-wing Canadian record label G7 Welcoming Committee Records on October 14, 2003 under the name Direct Action: Reflections on Armed Resistance and the Squamish Five.
