Collingwood College Boat Club (CCBC) is the rowing club of Collingwood College, part of Durham University.

CCBC was formed in 1981 and is housed in the Collingwood College boathouse on the north bank of the regatta stretch of the River Wear. The boathouse used to belong to St Hild's College, before it merged with Bede College to form College of St Hild and St Bede, Durham.

Collingwood has raced at Henley Royal Regatta four times and is a regular entrant to the Head of the River Race, Women's Head of the River Race and Durham Regatta.

CCBC is a registered Boat Club through British Rowing, with Boat Code "COC" and is a member organisation of Durham College Rowing.

The club is led by an executive committee elected by the boat club members.
