Guarda is a municipality in Inn District in the Swiss canton of Graubunden, located in the Sur Tasna sub-district of the Inn district on a terrace above the left bank of the Inn river.

In 1975 the Swiss Heritage Society awarded Guarda the Wakker Prize for the preservation of its architectural heritage. The award notes that it is one of the best preserved and characteristic villages of the Unterengadin. It notes that the municipality struggled with a harsh landscape and the demands of tourism as well as the migration of young people from the village into the cities of Switzerland.
