Edward "Fast Eddie" Johnson, Jr. (born February 24 1955 in Ocala, Florida) is a retired American professional basketball player. A 6'2" guard from Auburn University, Johnson played 10 seasons (1977-1987) in the NBA as a member of the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Seattle SuperSonics. He represented the Hawks in two NBA All-Star Games (1980, and 1981) and scored 10,163 points in his career. As a player, he was known for his great speed and slashing ability.

Eddie's brother Frank played and coached in the NBA.

Johnson has been arrested and convicted multiple times for various offenses since his retirement, and he admits he's had frequent drug problems.

On August 9, 2006, the Associated Press reported that Johnson had been arrested for sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl. The arrest created additional controversy when, in multiple publications, the picture of another NBA player named Eddie Johnson was used in articles covering the arrest. The non-"Fast" Eddie Johnson has considered pressing charges for defamation and negligence due to the damage to his reputation that occurred following the reports.
