Major General Sir Andrew Hamilton Russell (23 February 1868 – 29 November 1960) was a New Zealand General during the First World War.
A senior officer in the New Zealand Territorial Force and a veteran of the British Army, Russell was appointed to command the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade upon the outbreak of war, and rose swiftly to high command during the Gallipoli Campaign, principally for his role in the short-lived capture of Chunuk Bair.
He commanded the ANZAC evacuation from Gallipoli, and went on to achieve further distinction as the commander of the New Zealand Division on the Western Front in 1917 and 1918.
Sir Ian Hamilton identified Russell as "the outstanding New Zealander on the Gallipoli peninsula."
