Bernt Harry Johansson (born April 18, 1953 in Gothenburg) is a retired road bicycle racer from Sweden, who was a professional rider from 1977 to 1981. A competitor at the 1972 Summer Olympics, he represented his native country once again at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, where he won the men's individual road race. For that performance Johansson was awarded the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal the same year, together with track and field athlete Anders Gärderud, who claimed gold in the men's 3.000m steeplechase in Montreal.
