William Warwick Johnson (born 18 March 1974 in Solihull) is a rugby union footballer who plays at Number 8 for Benetton Rugby Treviso in Italy.
He is perhaps best known for being Martin Johnson's younger brother, but always was in the big man's shadow. A good club man, but never international class, known for technique but not a big ball carrier. Johnson started the epic 2001 Heineken Cup final against Stade Francais, breaking his arm and being replaced by Paul Gustard. Johnson played twice in 2004 for England A but never made the break through to international level, in a similar fashion to another Leicester back rower John Wells.
Johnson joined Coventry R.F.C. in July 2006 and was made club captain, but left in December of that year to join Italian side Benetton Rugby Treviso
