- The Viking Club was a club for philologists and historians specializing in Germanic and Scandinavian studies. It was founded by E.V. Gordon and J. R. R. Tolkien when the two were professors at Leeds University in the 1920s. At meetings of the club students and faculty would gather to read Old Icelandic sagas and drink together in an informal setting. Members of the club also invented original songs and poems in Old English, Gothic, Old Norse and other extinct Germanic languages. A collection of these works was privately published as Songs for the Philologists, of which most of the printed editions were destroyed in a fire. Only a very few copies are believed to have survived. Following Gordon's departure, the student magazine The Gryphon remarked that 'old students will note with pleasure that Dr. A. H. Smith is now President of the Viking Club’, indicating that the student society that Tolkien and Gordon had established had in some sense survived Gordon’s departure and was in the hands of Albert Hugh Smith (1903–67), a Leeds graduate who in 1930 had taken up a lectureship at University College London. Similar groups have continued at Leeds University since the time of Tolkien and Gordon. As of 2015 the successor of the Viking Club was known as the Old Norse Reading Group, and associated with Gordon's distant successor, Alaric Hall. (en)
- 維京俱樂部（英語：Viking Club）是20世紀20年代在英國利茲大學任教的J·R·R·托爾金與E·V·戈登於該校建立的團體，成員均是該校的師生。他們通常在學校的酒吧聚會，研究古斯堪地那維亞等古代語言和傳統，及將童謠翻譯成盎格魯-撒克遜語。托爾金還自創古英語的填字遊戲以吸引學生參與。 現今利茲大學仍存在著類似的社團。 (zh)
