Lord Edward Russell (1643 – 30 June 1714) was an English politician, known as Hon. Edward Russell until 1694. He married Francis Lloyd, a widow, in 1688. They had no children. Edward Russell was son of William Russell, 1st Duke of Bedford (1616–1700). Edward was educated privately and at the University of Padua. At the time of the 1st Duke's death, Edward was the oldest surviving son, but the dukedom passed instead to Edward's nephew, the young Wriothesley Russell, 2nd Duke of Bedford. This was because Wriothesley was the son of Edward's elder brother William Russell, Lord Russell.
