Chester-le-Street Amateur Rowing Club is a rowing club on the River Wear, based at the Riverside Sports Complex, Chester-le-Street, County Durham.

[1] The blade colours are red, royal blue and a white diagonal stripe; kit: red & royal blue.

[2] The club was founded as Chester-le-Street Rowing Club in 1888,[3] initially rowing from a boathouse in a park that burnt down during the 1930s.

After a dormant period the club was started again by Bob Heywood during the 1980s[4] and by 2001 had increased members to the point where more boats were needed.

[5] In recent years the club has produced several national champions.
