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]

Watts-Russell was elected Conservative MP for North Staffordshire at the 1841 general election, and held the seat until 1852 when he stood down.[2][3][4]

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