The verdict on Salim Hamdan is the first to be delivered in a full war crimes trial at the US prison in Cuba.
The jury found Hamdan guilty of five of eight charges of supporting terrorism but acquitted him of two separate, more serious, charges of conspiracy.
A sentencing hearing is now under way. Hamdan, a Yemeni aged about 40, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The White House said the trial was fair and looked forward to more tribunals.
The defence team has said it plans to appeal, while rights groups have condemned the trial as unjust.
