Daniel Ryan Johnson is an American former professional baseball pitcher and designated hitter. He played most of his ten seasons in Major League Baseball and Nippon Professional Baseball as a first baseman and pitcher, but has never held a Major League starting job for an entire season. He is perhaps best known for hitting a dramatic two-out, two-strike home run for the Tampa Bay Rays in the bottom of the ninth inning of the last game of the 2011 season, also known as Wild Card Wednesday. That home run tied the game, which the Rays eventually won, sending them to the playoffs. His clutch hitting for the Rays, along with his red hair and beard, earned him the nickname "The Great Pumpkin".

Duane Alexander Johnson is an American professional basketball player for Maccabi Ma'ale Adumim of the Israeli National League. He played college basketball for East Stroudsburg, where he was part of four straight PSAC Final Four teams and three NCAA Division II Tournament teams. He has since played professionally in Australia, Ireland and Luxembourg.

Blind Willie Johnson was an American gospel blues singer, guitarist and evangelist. His landmark recordings completed between 1927 and 1930—thirty songs in total—display a combination of powerful "chest voice" singing, slide guitar skills, and originality that has influenced generations of musicians. Even though Johnson's records sold well, as a street performer and preacher, he had little wealth in his lifetime. His life was poorly documented, but over time, music historians such as Samuel Charters have uncovered more about Johnson and his five recording sessions.

Shane Johnson is an American actor with numerous credits in both television and film. He is noted for playing Scott in Black Cadillac and Cooper Saxe in Power. He has also appeared as Will Cooper in two episodes of the 2008 TNT show Raising the Bar.
