William Russell Hennessy Dippie (9 June 1907 — 15 February 1997) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.

Dippie was born at Edinburgh in June 1907. A club cricketer for Brunswick, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Scotland against Ireland at Dublin in 1939.[1] Playing in the Scottish team as a right-arm fast-medium bowler, he went wicketless in the Irish first innings, but took figures of 3 for 41. As a lower order batsman, he ended the Scottish first innings unbeaten on 7 runs, while in their second innings he was dismissed without scoring by James Boucher.[2] Outside of cricket, he was by profession an electrician. Dippie died in England at Dudley in February 1997.
