Selwyn College Boat Club (SCBC) is the rowing club for members of Selwyn College, Cambridge, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. The Selwyn College Boat Club has one of the highest participation rates of novice rowers of any Oxbridge college. Notable alumni of the Selwyn College Boat Club include Hugh Laurie, Tom Hollander, and Richard Budgett.
In 2014, Selwyn College constructed a new combined boathouse on the River Cam. The new facility provides training and rowing facilities for members of Selwyn and the University of Cambridge. The combined boathouse was designed by RHP Architects at a cost of approximately £2.20 million and was the winner of the 2017 RIBA East Award for outstanding architecture. Selwyn College rowers have not taken a headship (men's or women's) of the two bumps races. Selwyn College boats have had more success over the past several years, with the 1st Women's VIII earning blades in the 2023 Lent Bumps, and the 1st Men’s VIII earning blades in the Lent Bumps the following year.
