Maidenhead Rowing Club is an amateur rowing club, on the River Thames in England. It is situated at Maidenhead, Berkshire.

The club house is on the reach above Bray Lock on the Maidenhead bank of the Thames between Maidenhead Railway Bridge and Maidenhead Bridge.

The club has many wins to its credit including wins at Henley Royal Regatta in the 1920s and The Wingfield Sculls in 1947 and more recently at Henley Womens Regatta. It is the main organisation behind the Maidenhead Regatta.

The present boathouse was completed in June 1998 and opened by Sir Steve Redgrave. It replaced an older one situated just beside Maidenhead Bridge which had been the club's home for approximately 160 years.
