Russ (Dutch) Boyd is an American professional poker player from Culver City, California. He suffers from bipolar disorder.

Boyd went to college aged 12 and graduated law school aged 18.

Prior to playing poker professionally, Boyd was the owner of the Pokerspot online poker cardroom. When Pokerspot ceased operations the cardroom did not return hundreds of thousands of dollars of player funds, despite Boyd's assurances that this would not occur. Several months after the site's close, Boyd turned down an offer from an online casino operator to buy the Pokerspot software and pay those players owed money. As of 2006, Boyd still has not returned the funds players are owed. ^{, )}

Boyd has been playing poker since the age of eighteen. He was a member of the former Crew (which also featured two-time bracelet winner Scott Fischman), a group of poker professionals based in the USA that were briefly associated in 2004.

As of 2006, his total live tournament winnings exceed $240,000.
