The Nanaimo Curling Club is a curling club located in Nanaimo, British Columbia. The club plays out of the Nanaimo Curling Centre on Wall Street in Bowen Park.

The club was founded in 1947 at the Nanaimo Civic Arena, though the club began regular curling play in 1949 on one sheet of ice. A four sheet curling rink was built in 1951 located immediately north of the current club site. A fifth sheet was added in 1953, at the same time the Ladies club was incorporated. The club built an eight sheet club in 1969.[1] In 2017, the club won the Travelers Curling Club Championship.
