synonyms = The Johnson's Tody-flycatcher ("Poecilotriccus luluae") is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family. It was briefly known as Lulu's Tody-tyrant, but following the death of Ned K. Johnson, one of the people responsible for the description of this species in 2001, the name was modified to Johnson's Tody-tyrant.

It is threatened by habitat loss and is consequently considered vulnerable by BirdLife International and IUCN.
