Russell Lloyd (January 16, 1916 – January 21, 2008) was a British-born film editor who amassed fifty credits on feature films. Lloyd had a notable collaboration with the director John Huston that extended over eleven films. Lloyd was nominated for an Academy Award for Huston's The Man Who Would Be King (1975).

Lloyd's first film with Huston was Moby Dick (1956); Huston was so satisfied with Lloyd's initiative and editing that he subsequently entrusted post-production of the films he directed entirely to Lloyd. Tony Sloman has written, "Lloyd's remarkable relationship with Huston reached its apogee with The Man Who Would Be King (1975) in which the editor's and director's styles meshed seamlessly, for both were opposed to the then (and still) current trend for overcutting action sequences, and there is a tremendous moment of pure cinema when Sean Connery falls to his doom from a collapsing rope bridge in a single shot."

Lloyd had been elected to membership in the American Cinema Editors.

Russell Lloyd est monteur sur cinquante films (britanniques, américains ou en coproduction), le premier sorti en 1937, le dernier en 1992 (La Cité de la joie de Roland Joffé).

En particulier, il collabore avec John Huston sur dix de ses réalisations, depuis Moby Dick (1956, avec Gregory Peck et Richard Basehart) jusqu'à L'Homme qui voulut être roi (1975, avec Sean Connery et Michael Caine) — ce dernier lui valant son unique nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur montage, qu'il ne gagne pas —, en passant notamment par Reflets dans un œil d'or (1967, avec Marlon Brando et Elizabeth Taylor).

Citons également Anna Karénine de Julien Duvivier (1948, avec Vivien Leigh et Ralph Richardson), Le Renard s'évade à trois heures de Vittorio De Sica (1966, avec Peter Sellers et Victor Mature), ou encore Absolute Beginners de Julien Temple (1986, avec Patsy Kensit et David Bowie).
