Hamer Field Russell (1876 - 6 June 1941) was a British politician.
Russell attended Eton House School in Kingston-upon-Hull before becoming a builders' merchant. He became active in the Liberal Party and stood unsuccessfully as their candidate in Sheffield Ecclesall at the 1923 UK general election.[1] He also served as a Liberal councillor.[2]
Around 1929, Russell joined the Conservative Party.[2] In his new colours, he took second place in the Sheffield Brightside by-election, 1930 behind Fred Marshall. He was able to take the seat at the 1931 UK general election, but lost it in 1935.[1]
