Russell Edward Morris (born 8 June 1967) is a British chemist and Bishop Wardlaw Professor of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews since 2016.

[8][9] Morris's research interests lie in the synthesis, characterisation and application of porous and layered materials including zeolites[10] and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

[11] He developed ionothermal synthesis – the use of ionic liquids as reactive media for the preparation of solids – a method that has had impact across a wide range of chemistry.

[12] His recent work on developing the assembly–disassembly–organisation–reassembly (ADOR) approach[13][14] to the preparation of zeolites offers routes to exciting materials that would not be possible using standard techniques.

[15] His applications and commercially focused work with MOFgen Ltd.[17] and Sasol Technology UK have been recognised by the Brian Mercer Award for Innovation from the Royal Society.
