William Russell Dudley (March 1, 1849 – June 4, 1911) was a botanist, born in Guilford, Connecticut. He graduated from Cornell University in 1874, and subsequently studied natural history under Louis Agassiz on Penikese Island in 1875, and in the Harvard Summer School in 1876. In 1873 he became instructor of botany at Cornell, and in 1884 assistant professor of cryptogamic botany, and also professor of botany in the Martha's Vineyard summer institute during its sessions in 1878–79. He died of tuberculosis in 1911. Dudley contracted an illness while studying trees in Persia. In 1913, Leland Stanford Junior University published a "Dudley Memorial Volume" containing a paper by the then late Professor and appreciations, and contributions by friends and colleagues.
