Clyde Elmer Johnson (August 22, 1917 – September 14, 1997) was an American football player and coach. He played college football for the Kentucky Wildcats football team and was selected by the Associated Press as a first-team tackle on the 1942 College Football All-America Team.[1] He was Kentucky's first All-American football player.[2]

At six feet, six inches, and 269 pounds, he was one of the largest football players of his day. He was drafted by the Cleveland Rams with the 35th pick in the 1943 NFL draft, but his professional debut was delayed during World War II. After the war, he played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Rams in 1946 and 1947 and for the Los Angeles Dons in 1948.[3]

Johnson served as the head football coach at East Los Angeles College from 1951 to 1961. He was the coach at East Los Angeles from 1949 to 1950.[4][5]

Johnson died in 1997 in Orange County, California, at age 80.[6]
