Henry Johnson (c. 1820 – c. 11 October 1891), better known by his alias Harry Power, was an Irish-born convict who became a bushranger in Australia. From 1869 to 1870, he was accompanied by a young Ned Kelly, who went on to become Australia's best known bushranger.
Power escaped from Pentridge Prison twice, in 1862 and 1869. He was known for his affable demeanour and sense of flair, as well as the fact that he never killed any of his targets.
