Donald Ernest Johns (December 13, 1937 – July 8, 2017) was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played 153 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, and Minnesota North Stars between 1960 and 1967. He played in the Canadian minor leagues for the Fort William Canadiens and the Winnipeg Warriors (1957 to 1960) before signing with the Rangers, where he teamed with Harry Howell, Bill Gadsby and Lou Fontinato. Johns was on the Minnesota North Stars roster during their inaugural season of 1967–1968. The Canadiens dropped him after a single game, when he left to attend his mother's funeral.
