Muhammad Bux Johar ({{langx|sd|محمد بخش جوهر}}) was a Sindhi journalist from Hyderabad, Sindh, who had worked in the media for more than 45 years.[http://www.gulhayat.com/editors.asp Gul Hayat Institute. Sindhi Editors] He worked as editor of Hilal Pakistan of Karachi, Pakistan and Daily Aftab of Sindh. Also worked for the Sindhi Digest.[http://www.gulhayat.com/newspapers.asp Gul Hayat Institute. Newspapers, Journals & Periodicals –up to 1980.]

His editorials were so powerful on Sindh issues that people pasted them on their city walls.[https://web.archive.org/web/20120318000604/http://www.pakistanpressfoundation.org/media-events/14641 Pakistan Press Foundation. Tribute paid to late journalist] He was eulogized by his fellow professionals in the Hyderabad Press Club as a man of principles, who never compromised on them.

In addition to news editorials, he also wrote books, including translations of Greek mythologies. He delved into Science Fiction too, in Sindhi, writing Flying carpet ({{langx|sd|اڏام کٽولو}}), Army of ants ({{langx|sd|ماڪوڙن جي فوج}}) and Rampant Holidays ({{langx|sd|اڏامندڙ ٿالهيون}}).{{cite magazine |last= Afrier |date=31 August 2011 |title=Sindhi Literature and Science Fiction! |magazine= Affair News Magazine|location= Pakistan |quote=سنڌي ادب ۾ محمد بخش جوهر جو نالو ”قياس تي بيٺل ادب“ ۾ سرفهرست آهي جوهر جا ڪيترائي ڪتاب ته سائنس فڪشن جو اعليٰ نمونو آهن، جن ۾ ”اڏام کٽولو“ ، ”اڏامندڙ ٿالهيون“ ۽ ”ماڪوڙن جي فوج“ قابل ذڪر آهن. {translation:The name of Muhammad Bakhtar Jawhar in Sindhi Literature is a surf in the "Literature of Anthropology". Many books of Johor have high definitions of science fiction, which include "Roof Cutlow", "Stunning Things" and "The Army of Macocos".) }}

Johar retired from active journalism a decade ago when Sindhi daily Aftab was closed down. He died June 2010 in Karachi.
