Audrey Lawson-Johnston, born Audrey Warren Pearl (born February 5, 1915), is the last living survivor of the sinking of the "RMS Lusitania" on May 7, 1915.

She is the fourth of six children born to Major Frederic Warren Pearl and Amy Lea Duncan. Lawson-Johnston was three months old when she boarded the "Lusitania" in New York with her parents, three siblings and two nurses. Her 18-year-old English nursemaid Alice M. Lines saved her life and that of her 5-year-old brother Stuart by jumping off the boat deck and being pulled into a lifeboat. Her parents survived but her sisters Amy and Susan were lost.

Her saviour Alice Lines, with whom Lawson-Johnston was close through all her life, died in 1997 at the age of 100.

She married Hugh Lawson-Johnston and now resides in Melchbourne, Bedfordshire, England.
