Arvid Helmer Johanson (3 February 1929 – 6 November 2013) was a Norwegian newspaper editor and politician for the Labour Party.
He was born in Halden as a son of Arvid Martin Johanson (1896–1981) and housewife Karla Niemi (1899–1932).
Towards the end of his fifth full term in Parliament, Johanson was appointed as Minister of Petroleum and Energy.
[3] Gjerde had asked Prime Minister Odvar Nordli that his resignation be allowed because of high pressure in the job, with incidents like the Alta controversy and the Alexander Kielland rig disaster.
While Johanson was a government minister, his seat in Parliament was taken by Jan Eilert Bjørnstad.
