Equipo Sirius was an independent Spanish publisher that was part of the Bibliodiversidad movement of publishers specialising in popular science. Its catalogue covered titles and subject areas for all levels, from university education to children and young people.

History
Founded in 1985 in Madrid by Jorge Ruiz Morales, its first activity was the publication of the magazine Tribuna de Astronomía, now called AstronomíA. First published in December 1986, the magazine is no longer owned by Equipo Sirius and has been published by another publisher since January 2013.

Its main characteristic is that it publishes authors from the Spanish-speaking or near-Spanish-speaking world, scientists, technicians and popularisers, who are interested in conveying an accessible, educational and enjoyable idea of technological science.

In 2003 it won the European Science Fiction Society's prize for the best publication in fantasy literature.
