A guard screen for a rain gutter is provided for placement over the rain gutters of a building structure. The guard screen includes a longitudinal screen body portion bordered by a pair of longitudinal edges. The first edge has a channel defined therein for interconnection with the front lip of a gutter. The second edge includes a flange and a roof board edge abutment rib. The flange of the second edge fits between shingles of a roof and the roof boards. The roof board edge abutment rib abuts the roof board edge. Because the screen body portion is composed of a resilient material such as aluminum or vinyl, the tension produced from the interconnection of the channel with the gutter lip and the abutment rib with the edge of the roof boards causes the body to resiliently arch or bow. This tension holds the guard screen in place.
