Selwyn College Boat Club (SCBC) is the official 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, and has performed well in the May Bumps and Lent Bumps in recent years. Notable alumni of the Selwyn College Boat Club include Hugh Laurie, Tom Hollander, and Richard Budgett.[1][2]

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.[3] Selwyn College rowers have not taken a headship (men's or women's) of the two bumps races. The Selwyn College lower boats have had more success over the past several years, with the 1st Women's VIII earned blades in the 2023 Lent Bumps, and more recently the 2nd Men’s VIII earned blades in the 2023 May Bumps.
