Robert Elson Russell Sr. (December 18, 1941 – January 19, 2019) was an American politician. Elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1981, he faced Chip Dicks the following year after the court-mandated redrawing of districts. He was unsuccessful in this race but won election to the Virginia Senate in 1983.
