Alfred Edward Johns (22 January 1868 – 13 February 1934) was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for Australia and Victoria between 1895 and 1899.^[1]

Born in Hawthorn, Melbourne, he was one of eight children of Elizabeth (née Tudor) and Peter Johns, founder of the lift manufacturing firm Johns & Waygood.^[2] After attending Wesley College in Melbourne he studied law and practised as a lawyer in Melbourne. He gave up the law in 1899 when his father died, and succeeded his father as director of Johns & Waygood.^[3] Johns died in 1934 in Melbourne, aged 66.

Johns made his first-class debut for Victoria in a match against the touring English team in March 1895.^[4] A wicket-keeper and left-handed batsman, he toured with the Australian national team to England twice, in 1896 and 1899, without playing in a Test Match.^[5] Unusually for an Australian player, over half of Johns' first-class matches were played in England rather than Australia.^[5]

Johns returned early from the 1899 tour of England when his father died, and retired from cricket immediately. Tom Horan wrote at the time that Johns was the best wicket-keeper Australia had ever had, apart from Jack Blackham.^[6]
