Dallas Johnson (born 23 November 1982) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 2000s, and 2010s. An Australia national and Queensland State of Origin representative forward, he played his club football in the National Rugby League for Australian clubs the Melbourne Storm and North Queensland Cowboys, and in Super League for French club Catalans Dragons.
Between 2007 and 2009, Johnson played in four consecutive NRL grand finals for the Melbourne Storm. Melbourne won the 2007 and 2009 grand finals. He has represented the Queensland Maroons in four State of Origin series and played one match for the Australian national team. He is known for his prolific tackling.
Johnson was born in Atherton, Queensland in 23 November 1982, and was raised on his family's farm on Queensland's Atherton Tablelands. He played his junior football in his town of Atherton. There he was scouted by the Melbourne Storm.
After playing in the Queensland Cup for the Storm's affiliate Brisbane Norths, Johnson moved to the Storm for the 2003 season. He played in the Storm's opening match of the season, alongside fellow first-grade debutant and future Australian and Queensland fullback Billy Slater. Johnson appeared in 20 first-grade matches that season, and the following year extended his contract.
