Russell John Lisch (born December 21, 1956 in Belleville, Illinois) is a former professional American football player who played quarterback for five seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Bears

At the University of Notre Dame, Lisch was part of Dan Devine's first recruiting class in 1975. He made his first start in place of injured Rick Slager in 1976, achieving a 40-27 victory against Miami. He would go on to start the first three games of 1977 but then would yield the starting job to Joe Montana. Lisch would finally be named the permanent starting QB as a fifth-year senior in 1979, winning seven of ten starts, highlighted by his 336-yard passing effort as the Irish rallied from a 17-3 deficit against South Carolina for an 18-17 victory.
