There might be another solution to this  Your code was   geom point aes      show legend   FALSE     You can specify the show legend parameter after the aes call    geom point aes       show legend   FALSE    then the corresponding legend should disappear

As the question and user3490026 s answer are a top search hit  I have made a reproducible example and a brief illustration of the suggestions made so far  together with a solution that explicitly addresses the OP s question   One of the things that ggplot2 does and which can be confusing is that it automatically blends certain legends when they are associated with the same variable  For instance  factor gear  appears twice  once for linetype and once for fill  resulting in a combined legend  By contrast  gear has its own legend entry as it is not treated as the same as factor gear   The solutions offered so far usually work well  But occasionally  you may need to override the guides  See my last example at the bottom     reproducible example  library ggplot2  p  lt - ggplot data   mtcars  aes x   mpg  y   disp  group   gear     geom point aes color   vs     geom point aes shape   factor cyl      geom line aes linetype   factor gear      geom smooth aes fill   factor gear   color   gear      theme bw        Remove all legends   user3490026   p   theme legend position    none     Remove all legends   duhaime  p   guides fill   FALSE  color   FALSE  linetype   FALSE  shape   FALSE    Turn off legends   Tjebo  ggplot data   mtcars  aes x   mpg  y   disp  group   gear     geom point aes color   vs   show legend   FALSE    geom point aes shape   factor cyl    show legend   FALSE    geom line aes linetype   factor gear    show legend   FALSE    geom smooth aes fill   factor gear   color   gear   show legend   FALSE     theme bw      Remove fill so that linetype becomes visible  p   guides fill   FALSE    Same as above via the scale fill  function   p   scale fill discrete guide   FALSE    And now one possible answer to the OP s request       to keep the legend of one layer  smooth  and remove the legend of the   other  point     Turn some on some off ad-hoc post-hoc   p   guides fill   guide legend override aes   list color   NA                color   FALSE              shape   FALSE

If your chart uses both fill and color aesthetics  you can remove the legend with     guides fill FALSE  color FALSE
