Stubblejumper Press was a Canadian book publisher active in the 1970s and 1980s. It was founded by Douglas Wilson in 1977 in Saskatchewan and focused on LGBT literature. Early titles included The Myth of the Boy (Wilson, 1977) and The Year of the Horse by Jordan Rand (1978). The original company folded around 1980, but Wilson moved to Toronto in the early 1980s and relaunched Stubblejumper in 1985.

In Toronto, Stubblejumper published the novels of Wilson’s partner Peter McGehee, poetry and non-fiction by Ian Young, and the annual Gay Canada travel guides. The press ceased operations before Wilson’s death from AIDS in 1992. The name Stubblejumper later became the title of a 2008 docudrama about Wilson, directed by David Geiss.
