Darwin College Boat Club (DCBC) is the official rowing club for members of Darwin College, Cambridge, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge.

Darwin's blades are Royal Blue and include three vertical stripes, scarlet, Cambridge Blue and yellow based upon the colours of the three colleges that established Darwin College namely St John's College, Cambridge, Gonville & Caius, and Trinity College, Cambridge.[1]

The Darwin College Boat Club has a high participation rate and is one of the most popular sports clubs at the college. Darwin College Boat Club has performed well in the May Bumps and Lent Bumps in recent years and has competed in the first division.

Notable alumni of the Darwin College Boat Club include Helen McFie, a British rower who was also a member of the Cambridge University Boat Club.
