Sir Henry Russell, 2nd Baronet, was an English diplomat and landowner.

Seal of Henry Russell made out of two parts, with the seal itself having been created in Hyderabad in 1804/5, whereas the clasp was made in the mid-19th century in Europe, probably Britain. Russell received the emerald seal while at Hyderabad. The three-line inscription in nastaliq script reads: Intizam al-Mulk I'timad al-Dawlah Henry Russell Na'ib Jang Bahadur 1219 ('The valiant, the Administrator of the Kingdom, the Pillar of the State, Henry Russell, deputy Commander-in-chief, 1219 [1804–5 AD]')
