The Egremont Russet is a cultivar of dessert apple, of the russet type. It has a rich, nutty flavour and crisp, firm and fairly juicy flesh.

It was first popular in the Victorian era and has remained popular ever since. It is thought to have been raised by Lord Egremont in the late 1870s at Petworth in Sussex, UK.
