contents We present two new canonical forms for real congruence of a real square matrix $A$. The first one is a direct sum of canonical matrices of four different types and is obtained from the canonical form under $^*$congruence of complex matrices provided by Horn and Sergeichuk in [Linear Algebra Appl. 416 (2006) 1010-1032]. The second one is a direct sum of canonical matrices of three different types, has a block tridiagonal structure and is obtained from the canonical form under $^*$congruence of complex matrices provided by Futorny, Horn and Sergeichuk in [J. Algebra 319 (2008) 2351-2371]. A detailed comparison between both canonical forms is also presented, as well as their relation with the real Kronecker canonical form under strict real equivalence of the matrix pair $(A^\top , A)$. Another canonical form for real congruence was presented by Lee and Weinberg in [Linear Algebra Appl. 249 (1996) 207-215], which consists of a direct sum of eight different types of matrices. In the last part of the paper, we explain the correspondence between the blocks in this canonical form and those in the two new forms introduced in this work.
