Charles Adrian Johnson (born June 29, 1957) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL) for three seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He played college football for the Maryland Terrapins.

Johnson was selected in the third round by the Packers in the 1979 NFL draft, but did not make the 1981 team when Terry Jones became a starter.[1] After a stint with the Philadelphia Eagles on the injured reserved list in 1982, and being cut from their 1983 team, Johnson rejoined the Packers in September 1983 for the 1983 season.[2][3][4]
