John Johnson (1809 – 5 August 1877) was an English first-class cricketer.
Johnson was born in Nottingham in 1809 and was by profession a solicitor.[1] His interest in cricket began when he played as a schoolboy, and he later made two appearances in first-class cricket for Nottingham in 1848, with both appearances coming against Sheffield.[2] Johnson was the honorary secretary of a number of Nottingham based cricket clubs, and in 1859 he became the honorary secretary of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, a post he held for ten years. During his tenure, he was instrumental in the construction of the first pavilion at Trent Bridge.[1] After retiring, he was appointed vice-president to Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. Johnson died on 5 August 1877 at Bassingfield, Nottinghamshire. Having amassed a large collection of books on cricket during his lifetime, upon his death he left his collection to Richard Daft.[1]
