Lea Rowing Club is a rowing club based in Hackney, London, U.K. on the River Lea.[1]

Founded in 1980 by the merger of several clubs, it is now the largest club in East London, catering for adults and children who want to compete at the highest level nationally and internationally, as well as those who want to enjoy rowing socially. In 2022, the club won the British Rowing "Club of the Year" award.
