John Lewis Russell (2 December 1808 – 7 June 1873) was an American botanist and Unitarian minister. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Russell attended Harvard University and received his early education in Salem, Newburyport and Amesbury. He earned a bachelor's degree in 1828 and a divinity degree in 1831 before becoming a minister, his profession until 1854.
