Russell Jessop (born 25 September 1957) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Jessop got his first chance to play for Collingwood when the club made five changes to their team to take on Footscray in round 20 of the 1976 VFL season, having fallen to the bottom of the ladders after their loss to Fitzroy. Used as a wingman or flanker, he appeared in the remaining two fixtures that year and another two in 1977.
He later had success at Lalor as a forward and topped the Diamond Valley Football League goal-kicking in 1984 with 103 goals.
