Gareth Russell is a British author and historian.
Gareth Russell was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He attended Down High Grammar School, and later graduated from Saint Peter's College, Oxford, where he read modern history. Russell completed a Master's degree in medieval history at Queen's University, Belfast. He currently divides his time between Belfast and New York.
Russell is the author of a series of plays, including The Gate of the Year. In July 2011, his first novel Popular was published in the UK and Ireland by Penguin, as the first in a new series of novels following the lives of a group of privileged Belfast teenagers.

Both novels were subsequently adapted for the stage in Northern Ireland.
