Beverly Russell (born June 16, 1962) is a chef and restaurateur.

Russell's first business venture was Memorable Occasions, a catering business she founded in 1995 on Valley Avenue. After that she opened Beverly's restaurant at Brookwood Village, later moving it to Morris Avenue in downtown Birmingham. She renamed that business Olivia’s Bar & Lounge in honor of her daughter, Olivia Barnes, and moved it to U.S. Highway 280. She brought Olivia's back downtown, to a spot on 2nd Avenue North.

Russell won a competitive bid to operate food service at the Birmingham Intermodal Facility and opened Olivia’s Transit Café there in 2017.

She accepted the role of culinary director for the Hampton Inn-Tutwiler in 2021 and opened The Six Sixteen full-service restaurant there that May. Her husband, Leonard, serves as general manager. Her daughter Olivia helped develop the beverage program.
