Justine Johnston (June 13, 1921 – January 13, 2006) was an American film, television and musical theatre actress.
She was occasionally mistaken for Justine Johnstone, a similarly named silent film actress, with whom she had no connection. Johnston performed throughout the Mid-Pacific during World War II. She appeared on Broadway in such musicals as the original production of the Tony-winning Follies (by Stephen Sondheim), as well as the American production of Me and My Girl, and a revival of Irene, starring Debbie Reynolds.
Johnston served on the governing body of the Actors' Equity Association for 39 years. She died of a stroke in West Hollywood, aged 84, in 2006.
