Russell Jessop (25 September 1957 – 16 May 2018) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Used as a wingman or flanker, he appeared in the remaining two fixtures that year and another two in 1977.
He later had success at Lalor as a forward and topped the Diamond Valley Football League goal-kicking in 1984 with 103 goals. Jessop died in May 2018.
