Steven Johnson (born 6 September 1974) is an Australian professional racing driver and the son of former competitor and team principal Dick Johnson. From 2000 until 2012, he raced full-time representing Dick Johnson Racing. Johnson is married and has two children.

His standout year was 2001, during which he led the championship standings for two rounds and claimed victories in two rounds, including winning the Canberra round from pole position, consistently achieving top-five finishes. He concluded that season in fifth place, marking his highest career ranking. After experiencing a decline in performance in 2002 and 2003, finishing outside the top ten, he improved to tenth place in 2004. Although he targeted a top-five finish in 2005, a disappointing outcome at the Bathurst 1000 resulted in him finishing outside the top ten once more.

In 2007, Johnson secured his best finish at the Bathurst 1000, placing third on the podium after leading late in a rain-impacted race alongside drivers such as Craig Lowndes, James Courtney, and Greg Murphy.

Early in 2013, Johnson transitioned from full-time driving to take on the role of general manager at Dick Johnson Racing. He remains active in competition through the Touring Car Masters series and participated as a co-driver for Erebus Motorsport during endurance events throughout the 2013 season.
