Aberdeen University Boat Club is a rowing club on the River Dee, based at S Esplanade W, Aberdeen, Scotland. The club is affiliated to Scottish Rowing.
The club belongs to the University of Aberdeen and was founded in 1865. In 1881, an application for a boathouse was sent to the Finance and Fishery committee of the Harbour Board.
In 2012, the club formed University Rowing Aberdeen (URA) in partnership with the Robert Gordon University Boat Club so that both clubs could share resources, funding, and coaching.
The club has produced several national champions.
The club contests the Aberdeen Universities' Boat Race against Robert Gordon University Boat Club, which has ran since 1996. The race takes place along a 3.5km stretch of the River Dee. The club has won a majority of the events. It is Scotland's second oldest boat race (after the Scottish Boat Race competed between The University of Glasgow and The University of Edinburgh), and has a mixed crew, unusually for rowing. Three races are currently contested. Owing the Covid lockdowns, the 2021 boat race was downscaled, with only a single race taking place, without spectators.
