Henry Simpson Johnston (December 30, 1867 – January 7, 1965) was an American lawyer and politician who served as a delegate to the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention, the first President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate, and the seventh governor of Oklahoma.
He would become the second governor in Oklahoma history to be impeached and removed from office. As governor, Johnston successfully proposed the establishment of a crippled children's hospital and a large increase to school aid funds.
His trouble began with complaints about his private secretary holding too much power and making executive decisions that he should be making.
After an unsuccessful and unconstitutional special session to impeach the governor in 1927, a new group of state lawmakers impeached the governor in 1929. Johnston died in 1965 and is buried in Perry, Oklahoma.
