Marco Russ (born 4 August 1985 in Hanau) is a German footballer.

Russ passed through all youth teams of Eintracht Frankfurt and finally got in 2004 a roster spot in the senior team. In the 2004/2005 season he managed to promote to the Fußball-Bundesliga. The tall central defender had only 3 appearances but left good impressions at the indoor tournaments (Futsal-like tournaments to gap the Bundesliga winter break). This is where he scored many goals, cheering them like his favourite player Ronaldinho from FC Barcelona. At the beginning of the 2005/06 season Marco Russ extended his contracht until 2010.

Meanwhile he is part of Dieter Eilts' German under 21 team.
