Alistair William Johnston (born October 8, 1998) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a right-back for Scottish Premiership club Celtic and the Canada National Team.

Johnston previously played in Major League Soccer for Nashville SC and CF Montréal, and in League1 Ontario for the Vaughan Azzurri.

Johnston was born in Vancouver to a Canadian father and Irish mother from Poleglass. His family moved to Montreal when he was four, where he began playing soccer with Lakeshore SC. The family again moved to Aurora, Ontario when he was seven. There, he played youth soccer with Aurora FC and Richmond Hill SC. He made his debut in the Canadian youth program at an under-18 camp in 2015, when he was 16. He played youth soccer with ANB Futbol, and earned a tryout with French club Troyes AC while there. In 2015, he joined Vaughan SC, helping them win the 2015 U-18/U-19 Disney Soccer Showcase, the 2015 OYSL U-18 League title, and the 2016 and 2017 U21 Ontario Cup.

Johnston accepted an invitation to the Canada national team camp in January 2021. He made his debut for Canada on March 25, 2021, as a 69th-minute substitute against Bermuda in the first round of 2022 World Cup qualifying, and scored his first goal for Canada in the following match against the Cayman Islands. In June 2021 Johnston was named to the 60-man preliminary squad for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and on July 1 he was named to the final squad.

In November 2022, Johnston was called-up to Canada's squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he played in all three of Canada's matches. In June 2023 Johnston was named to Canada's 23-man squad for the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League Finals.
