Marlow Rowing Club is a rowing club on the River Thames in England, on the southern bank of the Thames at Bisham in Berkshire, opposite the town of Marlow, Buckinghamshire just beside Marlow Bridge and on the reach above Marlow Lock. Founded in 1871, it is one of the main rowing and sculling centres in England. Members of the Club have represented Great Britain in the Olympic Games and World Championships.

The club was seriously damaged by a fire on 3 August 2011. Following fundraising and a grant of £1million from Sport England the club has been substantially rebuilt expanding from four boat bays to five, doubling the gym space and with a third floor bar facility. The club itself has converted into a registered charity (it was previously a Community Amateur Sports Club) and it has been selected as a British Rowing hub for the para-rowing element of the Elite Talent Development Pathway.

The club rows from Marlow up to Temple Lock (approximately 2 km), and from below Marlow Lock down to Cookham (approximately 5 km). The former stretch is the home of Marlow Town Regatta, Marlow Spring Regatta and FirstRow Challenge, and the latter the setting for Marlow Long Distance Sculls and Marlow Fours and Pairs. The Marlow Regatta moved to Dorney Lake in 2001.

Off the water the club also runs the "Rower's Revenge" Triathlon which consists of rowing machines, cycling and running and is held in October each year.

Colours

The club colour is cardinal, although the current club kit is closer in colour to maroon. All-in-ones are maroon with a white stripe down the side and the club crest on the front. Shirts are white with a maroon stripe on the arm and the word "Marlow" picked out in white lettering. Leggings are black with a maroon stripe down the side. The colour scheme is not dissimilar to that of Vesta Rowing Club or Oxford Brookes University.
