Russula raoultii is an inedible species of agaric fungus in the family Russulaceae. It was first described by French mycologist Lucien Quélet in 1886.

The cap is 3 to 8 cm wide, white to yellow, and becoming more convex in age. The stalk is 3 to 8 cm long and 1 to 2 cm wide. The spores are white, subglobose, with reticular warts. It has an acrid taste.

Similar species include Russula crassotunicata, R. cremoricolor, and R. stuntzii.
