Johan Strand Johansen (February 3, 1903 in Åfjord - February 12, 1970 in Moscow) was Norwegian Minister of Labour in 1945.
From 1945-1949 and later from 1954-1957 he represented the Communist Party of Norway in the Parliament of Norway.
His importance to posterity has been intimately tied to the dramatic split of the Communist Party in 1949, the so-called Furubotn purge.
