Gu-Win is a town in Fayette and Marion counties in the U.S. state of Alabama. It incorporated in 1956. At the 2020 census the population was 141,[1] down from 176 at the 2010 census. Although a small portion of the town is within Fayette County, all of the population as of 2010 resided in Marion County.

The town's unusual name is taken from the names of its two neighboring cities, Guin and Winfield. "Gu-Win" and "Guin" are not the same, though the pronunciation is virtually the same, leading to occasional confusion by visitors. Gu-Win - Goo-win and Guin - G-you-in
