HMS Russell was an 80-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. Built at Portsmouth Dockyard and launched on 3 June 1692, she was rebuilt to the 1706 Establishment at Rotherhithe and relaunched on 16 March 1709. The rebuild added a third gun deck, so she carried 80 guns on three decks but remained a third-rate. On 4 February 1729 she was ordered to be taken to pieces and rebuilt to the 1719 Establishment at Deptford, relaunched on 8 September 1735. Russell was sunk as a breakwater in 1762.
