A linear compressor includes a shell, a discharge pipe coupled to the shell, a compressor main body located inside of the shell, a cover housing that defines a discharge space that discharges refrigerant to the discharge pipe, and a guide pipe coupled to the cover housing and configured to guide refrigerant from the discharge space to the discharge pipe. The cover housing includes a flange portion configured to couple to the compressor main body, a chamber portion that extends from the flange portion and that defines the discharge space, an accommodation groove configured to accommodate the guide pipe, and a communication groove that penetrates an inner wall of the accommodation groove and that extends to the discharge space. The guide pipe is configured to insert into the communication groove in a state in which the guide pipe is accommodated in the accommodation groove.
