Russell Gordon Fraser (born March 1, 1934) 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.

He served as Attorney General of British Columbia from 1990 to 1991.[1] 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.[2]
