Montevideo Rowing Club is an Uruguayan sports club located in the city of Montevideo. Originally established as a rowing club, the institution also hosts the practise of basketball, futsal, gymnastics, handball, judo, karate, tennis and olympic weightlifting.

Montevideo Rowing, founded in 1874, is one of the oldest sports clubs in Uruguay after Montevideo Cricket (MVCC) (founded in 1861 and also considered the oldest in Latin America).[3] The club is also notable because three rowers from the institution won Olympic medals.
