Timothy L. "Tim" Johnson (born December 2, 1959) is an American politician. Johnson was a member of the Mississippi State Senate representing District 19 from 1995 to 2003 as a Republican. The district encompassed Attala, Leake and Madison counties.
Johnson announced on February 4, 2015, that he was switching to the Democratic Party to run for lieutenant governor. He was a Madison alderman before he was elected to the state Senate in 1995. He served two terms in the Senate but did not seek reelection in 2003 because his Senate district was broken apart when legislative maps were redrawn after the 2000 U.S. census. He was a Madison County supervisor from 2004 to 2012.
