Hophnie Hobah Hines Johnson (13 July 1910, Kingston, Jamaica – 24 June 1987, Miami, Florida, USA) was a West Indian cricketer.
His first-class cricket career began with his debut for Jamaica in 1935 and lasted until 1951, interrupted by the Second World War.
Making his international debut at the age of 37, his Test career lasted just three matches.
All three were against England, and the last was in 1950.
During his first Test Match, Johnson took five wickets in the first innings and five in the second.
He was the first fast bowler to take ten wickets in a single Test for the West Indies, and held the record for best bowling figures by a West Indies player on debut until his 10/97 was bettered by spin bowler Alf Valentine.
Johnson was 40 years old when he played his final Test.
