Johnson Blair Cherry (August 7, 1901 – September 10, 1966) was an American football and baseball coach.
His 1950 Texas Longhorns football team won the Southwest Conference (SWC) championship and appeared in the 1951 Cotton Bowl Classic, losing to Tennessee.
Cherry was also the head baseball coach at Texas from 1943 to 1945, tallying a mark of 30–23 and winning SWC titles in 1943 and 1945.
Cherry was considered as a candidate for the head coach position at the University of Texas at Austin in 1937, but was passed over for the better-known Dana X. Bible.
With Bobby Layne at quarterback, Texas earned a 10–1 record in his first year, a final ranking of fifth, and a defeat of sixth-ranked Alabama in the 1948 Sugar Bowl.
Mid-season, Cherry announced that he would be retiring from coaching, and his last game was a 20–14 defeat at the hands of Tennessee in the 1951 Cotton Bowl Classic.
He died on September 10, 1966, from a coronary occultation, three weeks after undergoing a kidney operation and then returning to the hospital with chest pains.
