Sir Gordon Russell, CBE, MC, RDI, FSIA (20 May 1892 – 7 October 1980) was an English designer, craftsman and educationist.
He came under the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement from 1904 after his father moved to Broadway in the Cotswolds to be hotelier at the Lygon Arms.
Following service as an officer in World War I, he became a furniture maker and designer.
In 1925 Russell won a gold medal at the Paris Exhibition with a cabinet, with internal drawers lined with boxwood, ebony and laburnum. He designed the "Stow" range of furniture in the mid 1920s.
