Rufus Nelson England (May 4, 1851 – November 28, 1911) was a merchant and political figure in Quebec. He represented Brome in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1889 to 1897 as a Conservative.

He was born in Knowlton, Canada East, the son of Israël England and Mary Villiers Curtis, and was educated at the Knowlton Academy and Stanstead College. England was a telegraph operator for the Canadian Pacific Railway and postmaster at Knowlton. He was first elected to the Quebec assembly in an 1889 by-election held after William Warren Lynch was named a judge. He was married twice: first to a Miss Beach and then, in 1890, to Mary Cornelia Lambkin. England died in Montreal at the age of 60 and was buried in Knowlton, Quebec.
