Linacre Boat Club (or LBC) is the rowing club for members of Linacre and Nuffield colleges, both in the University of Oxford.^[1]^[2] Founded in 1968, LBC shares a boathouse with the college boat clubs of Lady Margaret Hall, Trinity and Magdalen.

As both Linacre and Nuffield are graduate colleges, LBC is one of the few rowing clubs on the Isis that caters solely to postgraduate students.

Linacre competes in a wide variety of races, both on the Isis (including the Torpids and Summer Eights) and elsewhere, including the Head of the River Race on the Thames at London.^[3] Since 2022 Linacre has organised the Tamesis Regatta, a series of side-by-side races held over four days for novice crews.

From time-to-time the club uses the scallop shells of Linacre college, which are themselves taken from the arms of the prominent Linacre family of northern Derbyshire and southern Yorkshire, and represent the completion of the Camino pilgrimage to Santiago.^[4] The colours of the blades likely originate in the golden (or) crowns of the old (pre-1988) arms of Linacre college and its black (sable) shield.

Between the college's foundation and the creation of its boat club in 2023, members of Reuben College also rowed with LBC.^[5]
