Russell Bromage (born 9 November 1959) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder. In a fourteen-year career in the Football League he made 400 league appearances, scoring 14 goals.
He spent ten years with Port Vale from 1977 to 1987, winning the club's Player of the Year award in 1980–81, and being named on the PFA Team of the Year (Fourth Division) in 1982–83 and 1984–85, as the club were promoted out of the Fourth Division in 1982–83 and 1985–86. He played a total of 402 games for the club in all competitions, scoring 15 goals. He also spent a brief part of 1983 on loan at Oldham Athletic. He was sold on to Bristol City for £25,000 in August 1987, helping the club to win promotion out of the Third Division in 1989–90. He moved on to Brighton & Hove Albion for a one season spell in 1990–91, in which he was loaned out to Maidstone United. He later entered non-league football with Southwick and Littlehampton Town, also managing Whitehawk.
Bromage graduated from the Port Vale youth team to sign professional forms in October 1977, with the club in the Third Division and under the management of Bobby Smith. He made eight appearances in 1977–78 as the club were relegated into the Fourth Division. He then scored on the first day of the 1978–79 season in a 2–2 draw with Scunthorpe United, and then found the net again in a 3–1 win at Doncaster Rovers on 12 September. He finished 1978–79 with two goals in twenty games.
