Teviot Row House, or Teviot (/ˈtiːvi.ət/), is one of the student union buildings at Edinburgh University, Scotland. Run by Edinburgh University Students' Association (EUSA), the building in Bristo Square is the oldest purpose built student Union building in the world, having been opened in 1889.

Teviot has six bars, including The Library Bar, also serving food à la carte; The New Amphion cafe and bar with counter meals alongside meals à la carte; The Underground nightclub; the Union's original single bar, The Lounge Bar; The Loft Bar, complete with a roof terrace; and The Sports Bar with live sport and billiard tables. Other rooms include The Debating Hall, The Dining Room and The Study, alongside a number of smaller meeting rooms available to student societies. In 2014 the privately operated Teviot Print Shop was opened in the lobby area.

During the university period Teviot hosts a number of regular events catered towards local students. These include Open Mic Nights, Monday Night Jazz, club nights and a popular Sunday night Teviot Pursuits pub quiz. Special one off annual events utilising the entire building include a semester ending Christmas party, the Graduation Ball, and a Hallowe'en party. The building also plays host to EUSA's regular democratic meetings and student society events.
