Russell McVeagh (formerly Russell McVeagh McKenzie Bartleet & Co) is one of New Zealand's leading law firms. Along with Bell Gully and Chapman Tripp, it is considered to be one of the "big three" firms of New Zealand.

The firm was formed in 1863 and operates from offices in Auckland and Wellington. The firm was subject to considerable public scrutiny in the early 1990s for its role in the winebox inquiry as solicitors for Fay Richwhite. A partner in the firm also advised on a number of bloodstock partnerships which were the subject of the book Thirty pieces of silver, written by Queens Counsel Tony Molloy and the "B v ADLS" litigation which the firm won in the Privy Council.

Despite the perception of being more aggressive than other large law firms, Russell McVeagh is regarded as one of the leading law firms in New Zealand and acts for a significant number of New Zealand largest companies and multinationals. It operates specialist groups in litigation, resource management, corporate, employment, competition, property, finance and tax; and in its Wellington office, public law advisory.
