Lance Corporal Johnson Paudash MM (29 January 1875 – 26 October 1959) was an acclaimed Canadian sniper during the First World War.

Paudash, an Ojibwa native, joined the 21st Battalion (Eastern Ontario), CEF on 11 November 1914 at Kingston, Ontario (his younger brother, George Paudash, 24, also enlisted at the same time).

After training he embarked aboard the SS Metagama on 6 May 1915 and sailed to Great Britain.

In July 1915 he was promoted to lance corporal and in mid-September of the same year arrived in France.

After recuperating from this wound, Paudash rejoined his unit south of Ypres in Belgium.
