Russell John Northe (born 6 February 1966) is an Australian former politician who was a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Morwell from 2006 until his retirement in 2022. Elected as a member of the National Party, he resigned from the party in August 2017 and served the remainder of his parliamentary career as an independent member of parliament.
In 2023, he was sentenced to 21 months' imprisonment after pleading guilty to two counts of misconduct in public office arising from the submission of false documents in relation to parliamentary electorate office funding, with the sentencing judge finding the conduct involved the misuse of public funds to support gambling; he was eligible to apply for parole after 12 months.
