Russell Dawe (better known as Rusty Dawe) is an American video game developer who worked at Atari. While he did not compose video game music, he programmed the prolific RPM sound driver used in Atari's early arcade games, which was later expanded by Dennis Harper to support the YM2151 sound chip, and later retitled RPM-2.

Other than him being confirmed programming RPM, there is little known about Russell.

Ed Logg, a programmer at Atari, reportedly verified Rusty's involvement in programming the NES version of RPM. [1]
