Viking Kayak Club is a paddling club based on the River Great Ouse in Bedford, established in 1961 by a group of paddling friends. Its name references the Viking raiding activity historically associated with this stretch of the Ouse.

The club offers canoeing, kayaking, and SUP activities and is affiliated with the sport's governing body. The club has deep roots in competitive paddling on the Great Ouse.

It organises the Bedford Kayak Marathon, which traces its origins to the Bedford to St Neots canoe race first held in 1951–1952 — considered the longest-established canoe race in the UK.

Members can launch onto the river from the bank opposite the clubhouse, accessed via a walkway under the road bridge.
