Russell Gordon Fraser (March 1, 1934 – May 23, 2024) was a Canadian politician. He served in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1983 to 1991, as a Social Credit member for the constituency of Vancouver South.

Fraser served as Attorney General of British Columbia from 1990 to 1991. After Premier Bill Vander Zalm's resignation in 1991, he was considered for interim leader of the party (and thus premier), but lost the caucus vote to Rita Johnston by 21–17. During his time in the Legislature, he also served as Minister of Post-Secondary Education (1986) and Solicitor General of British Columbia (1989 to 1990).

Fraser died on May 23, 2024, at the age of 90.
