Rowing South Africa is the sport governing body for rowing in South Africa.

Rowing South Africa (RowSA) is the sole governing body for the sport of rowing in South Africa and is recognised with this status by SASCOC and Sport and Recreation South Africa. RowSA controls, administers, manages and co-ordinates rowing and rowing competition in South Africa; controls and manages international competition by national representative rowers in international competition and sanctions international competition by non-representative rowers.

The RowSA Council, made up of representatives of the constituent members, is the highest body of governance in RowSA. The Council meets at least four times a year. The Council elects an Executive Committee, with half of the positions being subject to election in any one year. The RowSA Constitution provides for membership by individual clubs in regions that may not yet have a regional association until such time as a regional association may be formed; this provides for development of the sport in new locations.
