Robert Johnson (born 27 June 1902) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the VFL. His son Bob B. Johnson followed in his footsteps and played for the club in the 1950s.

A key position player, Johnson was mostly used at centre half forward. After being recruited from Northcote he debuted with Melbourne in 1926 and had an immediate impact on the league. Johnson finished equal second in the 1926 Brownlow Medal and kicked 6 goals in Melbourne's winning grand final. He also earned Victorian selection at the season's end.

He twice topped Melbourne's goalkicking during his career, in 1928 with 55 goals and in 1933 with 62.
