The St. Botolph Club is a private social club in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1880 by a group including many artists. Its name is derived from the English saint Botwulf of Thorney.

Among the club's other activities in its quarters at 2 Newbury Street, it hosted an extensive and long-running series of fine arts exhibits, particularly new work from painters of the American Impressionists: Dennis Miller Bunker, Dodge MacKnight, Joseph Thurman Pearson Jr. (in a 1912 dual exhibition with animalier sculptor Albert Laessle^[1]) and Willard Metcalf, who first showed his landscape May Night at the club in 1906. The club also exhibited work by Wilton Lockwood,^[2] Adelaide Cole Chase, Frances C. Houston, and the sculptor Bela Pratt.^[3]

Among its members were the architect Charles Follen McKim^[4] and Boston composer Frederick Converse.^[5]

Originally exclusively a men's club, the St. Botolph Club has been open to women since 1988^[6] in advance of a Supreme Court ruling against sexual and racial discrimination in social clubs that would have mandated it.^[7]

The club appeared in fictionalized form as the "St. Filipe Club" in two novels written by Arlo Bates, The Pagans (1884) and The Philistines (1888).^[8]

Since 1972 at 199 Commonwealth Avenue,^[9] the club maintains reciprocal relationships with a large number of social clubs worldwide.
