John Henry Johnstone (1749–1828), also known as 'Jack' Johnstone or 'Irish' Johnstone, was an Irish actor, comedian and singer.〔For a lengthy account of his career, see P.H. Highfill, K.A. Burnim and E.A. Langhans, 'Johnstone, John Henry, ?1749-1828' in ''A Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Actresses, Musicians, Dancers, Managers, and other Stage Personnel in London, 1660-1800'', Vol. 8: Hough to Keyse (SIU Press, 1982), pp. 208-215.

==Life==
Johnstone was born probably on 1 August 1749, in the horse-barracks in Kilkenny, where his father, a quartermaster in a dragoon regiment, was then quartered. He joined a cavalry regiment, and won some reputation among his comrades for his sweet tenor voice. It is said that on his discharge his colonel recommended him for his singing in a letter to Thomas Ryder, manager of the Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin. Here in any case Johnstone made his first stage appearance, about 1773, as Lionel in ''Lionel and Clarissa'' (Charles Dibdin and Isaac Bickerstaffe). He was engaged for three years, and remained from seven to ten years on the Irish stage, singing principal tenor parts.〔See also: 'Biographical Sketch of Mr Johnstone (with a Portrait)', ''The Monthly Mirror: reflecting men and manners'' for April 1802, pp. 226-30 (Read here ): 'Obituary: Mr Johnstone, ''Gentleman's Magazine'' 2 March (for February) 1829, pp. 183-84.
