Robert Johnson (ca 1580 - 1633/34) was an english composer and lutenist. His father John was lutenist at the court of Queen Elisabeth I.

Between 1610 and 1617 Robert Johnson composed for the "King's Men" theatrical company, providing music for William Shakespeare's plays. So he sometimes is called as "Shakespeare's Lutenist"
