DSR Proteus-Eretes (Dutch: Delftse Studenten Roeivereniging - Delft Student Rowing Club) is a student rowing club in Delft, Netherlands, with more than 850 members.

Proteus-Eretes has a fleet of more than 100 rowing boats, which is the largest number of boats owned by a student rowing club in the Netherlands.[citation needed]

About 60 members of Proteus-Eretes are racerowers, who train to reach a worldclass level of rowing and start competing at a high level instantly. In 2012, 5 members competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics, and Sytske de Groot and Chantal Achterberg won bronze medals as a part of women's eight team. The other members are more recreational rowers, but also have the opportunity to compete in a competitive environment. During the season they can participate in competitions almost every weekend.
