The Edgrtown Yacht Club is a private yacht club located in Edgartown, Massachusetts on the island of Marthas Vineyard. The club was founded on Janurary 5, 1905, and Edward H. Raymond was named its first commodore. The Edgartown Yacht Club's current clubhouse was completed in 1927, and is located on Dock Street in downtown Edgartown.

The club also includes a "Junior Yacht Club" created in 1923. In the words of the Edgartown Yacht Club website "The Club sponsored the formation of the Edgartown Junior Yacht Club, one of the first of its kind, to encourage young people to learn sailing, seamanship, racing rules and tactics and other phases of yachting. Since that time, our juniors have had their own clubhouse and elected their own officers and committees, while competing in races and participating in other marine outings. At present, the Club owns a fleet of Optimist sailing dinghies, Widgeons and 420’s in which is offered sailing instruction to a large number of children under the tutelage of experienced instructor" [1]
