The New Riding Club is an historic building at 52 Hemenway Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1891 and designed by Willard T. Sears, The Riding Club is an example of Tudor Revival architecture.[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Built to utilize the nearby bridle paths of Frederick Law Olmsted's Back Bay Fens, the building was acquired by the Badminton and Tennis Club in 1934, and the interior riding rink was converted to tennis courts. In 1985 the remaining stables were converted to residential apartments.[2]
