Weybridge Rowing Club, founded in 1881, is a rowing club by the Thames in England, on the Surrey bank. The club organises head races, notably the Weybridge Silver Sculls which has had Olympian winners and co-organises a May/June regatta. It consists of a wide range of members: juniors, novices, seniors, masters (veterans) – these include many past and present champions.

It fronts the minor, upper weir stream associated with Shepperton Lock on a long, thin island separated by footbridge and narrow canal from the rest of Whittet's Ait, Weybridge. The local stretch of Thames – to Sunbury Lock – is roughly 5 km from topmost weir to bottommost weir and is shared with seven other well-established watersports clubs: the rowing clubs of Walton, Saint George's College, Weyfarers, Weybridge Ladies, Thames Valley Skiff Club, Elmbridge Canoe Club and Desborough Sailing Club.
