Russell Heap (born 6 December 1968) is an English former first-class cricketer.

Heap was born at Leeds and was educated at Ipswich School, before going up to Magdalene College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against Essex at Fenner's in 1988. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge until 1990, making a further nineteen appearances.[2] He scored 669 runs in his twenty matches, at an average of 20.90.[3]
