Arthur J. Johnson (born 1886) was an English footballer active prior to the First World War.

A half-back, Johnson's earliest known club was Southend United, then playing in the Southern League. He had a spell with Sheffield United of The Football League, but only made two appearances for the "Blades". [1] He then returned to Southend before joining another Southern League club, New Brompton, making his debut against Watford on 25 December 1909. [2] He remained with the club until competitive football was abandoned in 1915 due to the escalation of the First World War, finishing with a total of 132 Southern League appearances and five goals. [3]

He served as secretary-manager of Grays Thurrock United in the mid-1920s. [4]
