The Thames Rowing Club (TRC) is a rowing club based on the tidal Thames as it flows through the western suburbs of London. The TRC clubhouse stands on Putney Embankment.[1] The club was founded in 1860.[2](p6)

As of July 2023, Thames had won events at Henley Royal Regatta 88 times.

Thames is one of the founding clubs of Remenham Club; a social club for rowers, with a clubhouse and grounds on the Henley Royal Regatta course.[3] Thames hosts Cambridge University Women's Boat Club for their winter Tideway training ahead of the Women's Boat Race, and on race day itself.[4] Thames also houses the Boat Race's media centre and administrative office.

The club colours are red, white and black in stripes, the white stripe lying between the red and black and being of half their width.[5]
