Paul Burney Johnson, Sr. (March 23, 1880ndash December 26, 1943) was a judge, United States Representative and Governor of Mississippi. From 1907 to 1908 he was a judge of the city court of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Two years later he became circuit judge of the 12th judicial district, with his tenure ending in 1919. From 1919 to 1923, Johnson served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat. In 1939, he won the race for Governor of Mississippi, but died in office in 1943. His son, Paul B. Johnson, Jr., would become governor over twenty years later.

Paul B. Johnson State Park, a state park in Mississippi, is named after him.
