Molly Majbritt Emilia Johnson (1931–2016) was a Swedish novelist from Hofors who was brought up in a working-class family. She made her debut with Pansarkryssaren when she was just 24. Inspired by Sergei Eisenstein's silent film Battleship Potemkin, it tells the story of a spontaneous rebellion on a ship travelling to an industrial town in Sweden and has been described as a "modern classic". Apart from a children's book in 1956, it took thirty years before she published her second novel Morbror Anders in 1884. Johnson also contributed articles to newspapers and journals.
