Toforest Onesha Johnson (born 1973) is an inmate on death row at the Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Escambia County.

He was convicted of capital murder for the July 19, 1995 shooting death of Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Deputy William Hardy, while he was working as an off-duty security guard at Crown Sterling Suites in the Southridge Office Park.

Four men were charged in the case. Quintez Wilson and Omar Berry saw their charges dropped after a witness recanted her testimony. Wilson became a victim of homicide himself in 2008. Ardragus Ford was acquitted after two mistrials. Toforest Johnson was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death.

In September 2023 the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of Johnson's conviction based on unacknowledged payments made to a key witness.
