The Russell Fork River is a tributary of the Levisa Fork river in southwestern Virginia and southeastern Kentucky in the United States. Known for its whitewater rafting, it rises in the Appalachian Mountains of southwest Virginia, in southern Dickenson County, and flows north through the town of Haysi, Virginia, the Breaks Interstate Park, and the town of Elkhorn City, Kentucky, in Pike County, where it flows into the Levisa Fork which, together with the Tug Fork, form the Big Sandy River.
