Russula clelandii is a species of fungus in the family Russulaceae.

The fungus fruits on the ground in mixed woodlands of jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) and karri (E. diversicolor), plants with which it is suspected of forming ectomycorrhizae.

Fruitbodies are similar in morphology to the North American species Russula mariae.

The specific epithet honours Australian naturalist John Burton Cleland.
