Biteback Publishing is a British publisher based in Hull, and concentrating mainly on political titles. It was incorporated, as a private limited company with share capital, in 2009. It was jointly owned by its managing director Iain Dale and by Michael Ashcroft's Political Holdings Ltd, until 2018 when Dale stepped down to focus on his television and radio work. Biteback Publishing has published several books by Ashcroft including Call Me Dave, his 2015 biography of David Cameron.

Other titles include Out in the Army: My Life as a Gay Soldier (2013) by James Wharton, The Left's Jewish Problem (2016) by Dave Rich, and Post-Truth: How Bullshit Conquered the World (2017) by investigative journalist James Ball.

More recently, the company has published Jesse Norman's first novel, The Winding Stair (2023), which won the 2023 Parliamentary Book Award for Nonfiction or Fiction by a Parliamentarian, Ten Years To Save The West by Liz Truss and Andrew Pierce's bestselling memoir Finding Margaret (2024), about his search for his birth mother.

Biteback announced they will publish the authorised biography of entrepreneur Denis Lynn, written by Jago Pearson, in 2026.
