Henry Johnson (25 December 1806 – 12 June 1910) was a British acrobat, equestrian gymnast, and tightrope walker for Hughes' and Sanger's circuses in the early 19th century. He was orphaned at a young age, and started life in poverty, however by his early twenties he had performed before the Emperor of China. After leaving the circuses and teaming up with Mullaba the Chinese Juggler, he performed privately by Royal Command for William IV. As a solo act, he performed for Queen Victoria several times, and again for the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII).
