Johnny Abarrientos (born July 17, 1970) is a Filipino retired professional basketball player in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He was also a many-time member of the Philippine National team, and was the 1996 PBA Most Valuable Player, becoming the shortest player to win the league's highest individual award. He is known by many as The Flying A when he started playing for the Alaska Milkmen in 1993. He is currently an assistant coach for the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and for the FEU Tamaraws.

In college, Abarrientos played for FEU. He won Rookie of the Year in 1989 then led FEU to back-to-back titles in 1991 (as the league MVP) and in 1992. He then continued his amateur career in the semi-professional Philippine Basketball League, where he won four titles and three MVPs.

Abarrientos was then selected third overall in the 1993 PBA Draft by Alaska. He helped Alaska win nine championships, including a grand slam in 1996. He then won one title with the Pop Cola Panthers in 2002 and two titles with Ginebra in 2003 and 2007. He retired as the PBA's all-time leader in steals and has his #14 jersey retired by Alaska.
