Terry A. Johnson (born June 4, 1956) is an American politician serving as a member of the Ohio Senate from the 14th District. He is an osteopathic physician who was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives for the 90th district from 2011 to 2018. He was unopposed in the primary and faced Democrat construction worker Ron Hadsell in the general election. Johnson won with 58.38% of the vote. In 2012, he carried 64.07% of the vote as he was easily re-elected to a second term over Portsmouth City Council President John Haas. He earned a third term in 2014, again carrying 64% of the vote over Thom Davis. Johnson's 2010 election made him the first Republican to capture the seat since 1954, and his 2012 re-election campaign saw him become the first Republican to earn major endorsements and support from area labor unions. In 2011, Johnson was named Family Physician of the Year by the Ohio State chapter of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians.
