Andre Dwayne Russell (born 29 April 1988) is a Jamaican cricketer. Russell plays for the West Indies internationally and for Jamaica in West Indian domestic cricket, as an all-rounder.Widely regarded often as the biggest hitter of the cricket ball predominantly, Russell had hit a century in 42 balls(3 fours and 11 sixes in Caribbean Premiere League vs. Trinbago. He bats predominantly in the middle order for the West Indies.

Russell has a unique style of batting. He uses his feet as a support to use the ground at its fullest. He comes under the bounce of the ball and dispatches it. He is a big hitter on the leg side and likes to hit powerful shots down the ground.

In the season 2010 he played at Barnards Green Cricket Club, Worcestershire, England, helping them secure promotion from Worcestershire Cricket League into Birmingham League cricket. He took 39 wickets at an average of 10.15. He also led the averages with his batting, hitting 799 runs in 11 innings at an average of 99.88 (3 NOs).

A fast bowling all rounder, Russell made his Test cricket debut against Sri Lanka in November 2010.

He made his ODI debut in the 2011 Cricket World Cup match against Ireland at Mohali. He scored only 3, and was bowled by John Mooney, as his side went through a lower-order collapse to be bowled out for 275 from 267/6. However, he impressed with the ball, taking 1/37 from his 10 overs (2 maidens) and had bowled set Ed Joyce (84 off 106), and breaking a 91-run partnership with Gary Wilson to halt the fluent Irish run-chase. That proved to be the turning-point and West Indies won by 44 runs. He also took 2/46 against India in the 2011 Cricket World Cup at Chennai.
