Marcia K. Johnson (born 1943) is an American cognitive psychologist and Sterling Professor Emerita, Yale University.

She best known for her research on human memory, and cognitive and neural mechanisms of subjective experience, including pioneering work on comprehension, reality monitoring, source monitoring, and a component process architecture of cognition and memory.

Her work has contributed to scientific understanding of how memories are constructed and distorted, how people make attributions about the origin and veridicality of their subjective experience, and how these cognitive processes are reflected in brain activity.
