Edinburgh University Hockey Club are the official men's and women's field hockey clubs for The University of Edinburgh. It comprises seven men's teams and ten women's teams and was founded in 1901.

Both the men's and women's first XI play in the highest tier in Scotland, the Scottish Hockey Premiership. Teams plays in regional Saturday league matches across eastern districts of Scotland, with some teams participating in extra leagues on a Wednesday afternoon in their respective British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) league, playing other universities in Scotland and across the UK.

Home games are played at Peffermill playing fields (also known as The Cauldron, Peffs, and The VK Peffermill Arena), which are water-based pitches located in southern Edinburgh. Training takes place at Peffermill on Monday and Thursday evenings for all teams. These pitches are of an international standard.
