Roger Johnson (born April 28, 1983 in Ashford, Surrey) is an English professional football defender, who currently plays for Cardiff City in the Football League Championship.
Johnson is a product of the Wycombe Wanderers youth set-up and made his first-team debut for Wycombe in the final game of the 1999/2000 season, aged just 17. He became a first-team regular and was awarded the captaincy of the club when John Gorman took over in November 2004.
Johnson won the 2003/04 Fans' Player of the Year Award and came second the season after with the award being won by striker Nathan Tyson.
On 4 July 2006, after 182 appearances and 22 goals for Wycombe, he joined Cardiff City for £275,000, despite much speculation that he would join their rivals, Swansea.
