The University of St Andrews Canoe Club, abbreviated to StAUCC, is a sports club at the University of St Andrews. The club's primary focus is recreational whitewater kayaking, but it also engages in other aspects of paddlesport, including surf kayaking, sea kayaking and canoeing.[2] Additionally, members of StAUCC take part in various competitive kayaking disciplines, such as whitewater slalom, canoe polo and wildwater racing.[3]

StAUCC is affiliated to the University of St Andrews Athletic Union[4] and to the Scottish Canoe Association.[5] The club was founded for the academic year of 1974–1975.[1] The earliest known captain of the club was Gordon Harwell in 1981.[6]

The club is based in St Andrews mainly operating out of their boat shed near East Sands.[7]
