"Big Winnie" Johnson (c. 1839 – September 4, 1888) was an American "Fat Lady" sideshow performer in the 1880s. Despite the relatively short span of her career, she became very well-known, performing for circuses and dime museums across the country. She was remembered for the exceptionally high salary she commanded as a Black "Fat Lady" performer in the United States, especially in northern Midwestern cities including Chicago and Cincinnati.
