Ruderverein Treviris 1921 is a rowing club in Trier, Germany. It was founded in June 1921 on the initiative of pupils of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium, women have rowed in the club since 1936, and it was refounded on 19 November 1947 after the Second World War. Its boathouse on the Moselle between the Roman Bridge and the Konrad-Adenauer Bridge was demolished in 2022, and a replacement on the same site was still unfinished in 2023.
