Archibald George Blomefield Russell, CVO, FSA (1879-1955) was a long-serving English officer of arms at the College of Arms in London. Russell's heraldic career began on 10 November 1915 when he was made Rouge Croix Pursuivant of Arms In Ordinary. The vacancy in this office occurred due to the promotion of Arthur Cochrane to the office of Chester Herald earlier in the year. on 21 April 1922, Russell was promoted to the office of Lancaster Herald of Arms in Ordinary. This appointment came as a result of the untimely death of the previous Lancaster, Edward Bellasis. Russell served as a herald in ordinary for more than thirty years. In 1954, with the death Arthur Cochrane, a vacancy occurred in the office of Clarenceux King of Arms. Russell was chosen to fill the position and held it until his death a year later.
