Leslie Hamilton Johnston (16 August 1920 – 19 October 2001) was a Scottish footballer who played for Clydebank Juniors, Clyde, Hibernian, Celtic, Stoke City, Shrewsbury Town and the Scotland national football team.

Johnston was born in Glasgow and moved to Clyde from Clydebank Juniors in December 1941 before joining Hibernian in February 1947 for £10,000, a then Scottish football transfer record. However, he rejoined Clyde just eight months later for the same transfer fee. He joined Celtic the following year for £12,000, another Scottish transfer record. He remained with Celtic for just one year, before moving to English club Stoke City for £9,000. He remained with Stoke for six years before ending his playing career at Shrewsbury Town.

During his second spell at Clyde, he earned two caps for Scotland. He scored in the second of his caps, a 2-1 defeat to Switzerland in May 1948.
