Samantha Johnson (born 6 August 1992) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Melbourne in the AFL Women's (AFLW). She has previously played for St Kilda.

AFLW career

[edit]

[1][2][3] In August 2020, she was delisted by St Kilda.[4]

In June 2022, Johnson returned to the AFLW after being drafted by Melbourne.[5] After playing three games, Johnson announced she was pregnant on September 24, and would sit out the rest of that season: she became the first ever AFLW player to play while pregnant.[6]
