The Tiffin School Boat Club (also known as TSBC) is an amateur rowing club, based in England, run by Tiffin School. It is one of the few school rowing clubs in the state sector.

TSBC is based on the River Thames at Kingston upon Thames on the outskirts of Greater London in southern England between Kingston Bridge and Teddington Lock.

TSBC and Kingston Rowing Club share the boathouse located in Canbury Gardens on the Surrey bank, overlooking Steven's Eyot downstream. The site lease was renewed in 2010.^[2]

Rowers enjoy one of the longest and calmest stretches of rowing water in the UK; 4.81 miles (7.74 km) between Molesey Lock upstream to the south and downstream to Teddington Lock.

TSBC has, in the past, hosted the Tiffin Small Boats Head.^[3] The club regularly organise a sponsored row from Oxford to Kingston; the "OK Row".^[4]

The current head coach at the club is Carol Cornell, a former rower. The club has managed in the past to qualify boats for the Henley Royal Regatta. Carol has taken the boat club to new heights.

The Boat Club usually accepts members of age groups J14 to J18 (or students in years 9 to 13). The boat club will also accept younger members if they have previous rowing or sculling experience. Members may also continue to participate in Boat Club activities after leaving Tiffin School.
