Auriol Kensington Rowing Club is an amateur rowing club, based in Hammersmith in west London, England. The club was formed in 1981 by the amalgamation of two separate clubs - Auriol Rowing Club which was founded in 1896, and Kensington Rowing Club which was founded in 1872. The clubhouse is on Lower Mall, adjacent to Hammersmith Bridge.

Rowing is divided into two large senior squads for oarsmen and women, a novice group for beginners and a veterans section.

Groups compete throughout the year at events such as the Head of the River Fours, the Women's Eights Head of the River Race, the Head of the River Race, the Veterans Head during the winter and, in the summer, Henley Women's Regatta and Henley Royal Regatta. The club and its predecessors have a good record of winners of the Wingfield Sculls.
