Born 1962. Ken Johnson is an American engineer.

Ken Johnson (born November 28, 1962, in Memphis, Tennessee, United States) is a former driver in the CART series.

Johnson began his professional racing career in Formula Super Vee, winning the SCCA Pro National Championship in 1985. He qualified three times and finished ninth at Vallelunga circuit. That fall, he made one American Racing Series start at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. In 1988, he made his CART debut at Laguna Seca for Hemelgarn Racing and finished 12th, scoring one point - good enough for 36th in the championship.
