Tees Rowing Club is a rowing club based on the River Tees in Northeast England. The club is currently based at the River Tees Watersports Centre in Stockton-on-Tees and is affiliated to British Rowing.

The blade colours are or were "white, with a light blue and maroon stripe"; kit: maroon with two light blue side stripes. ^[2] The blade without white is a recent photography-based variant and likely post-dates 2020, due to a change of colours.
