Jesse David Watts-Russell (1812 – 7 March 1879)[1] was a British Conservative politician.[2][3]

He was the son of Jesse Watts-Russell, an MP for Gatton and Mary Watts, and married Mary Nevill Wright, daughter of John Smith Wright and Lydia Gray, and had at least nine children, including Josephine (died c. 1893).[3]

He was also, at some point, a Justice of the Peace.[3]
