Admiral Gerald Walter Russell (17 January 1850 – 7 November 1928) was a Royal Navy officer who was Captain-Superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard throughout 1902–1904.

Russell entered the Royal Navy, and was promoted to lieutenant on 13 March 1873 (with seniority from 19 January) while serving on the China Station, confirming a commission given by Vice-Admiral Charles Shadwell, Commander-in-Chief on the China Station, following the death of another officer.

In April 1900, he was appointed in command of the pre-dreadnought battleship HMS Hannibal, serving in the Channel Fleet.

During his command, the ship was among the huge fleet of ships present in the Solent for the passage of the body of Queen Victoria from Cowes to Portsmouth on 2 February 1901.

On 1 October 1902, Russell was appointed Captain-Superintendent, Pembroke Dockyard,[4] in which post he maintained for two years, until he was promoted to flag rank as rear-admiral on 1 September 1904.
