Darel Francis Russell (born October 22, 1980 in Mile End, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Norwich City.

Russell began his career as a youth player at Norwich City. Despite a number of appearances in the side's midfield, he could not make the breakthrough to becoming a first team regular and was sold to Stoke in 2003 for £125,000, when he was 23.

Darel Russell played under Tony Pulis and Johan Boskamp regularly, missing only a handful of matches during a season. He began his Stoke career playing at right-Back, before being moved to right-Midfield and central midfield.

Russell won the Championship player of the month award for November 2006.^[1]

On 30 July 2007, Russell rejoined the Canaries for an undisclosed fee (reported to be around the £410k marked down from £600k due to a 30% sell-on clause the canaries had in the deal taking Russell to Stoke in 2003), on a three-year deal.^[2]
