Walter Russell Chadwick (12 December 1903 – 20 October 1966) was an English professional footballer who played as a defender. Born in Accrington, Lancashire in 1903, Chadwick started his career in local football with St Saviour's of Bacup before joining Football League First Division side Burnley as an amateur in 1923. He failed to make a first-team appearance and left the following summer, signing with Barnoldswick Town in June 1924. Two months later, Chadwick returned to Burnley on professional terms but again could not break into the senior team and played solely in the reserves.
