Johnny Woo is a fictional character appearing in 2000 AD and then in Judge Dredd Megazine. Created by Gordon Rennie and PJ Holden, he is a thinly-veiled stereotype of the action hero popularised by director John Woo, after whom he is named, and is based in the fictional city of Hong Tong (the 22nd century version of Hong Kong). His visual appearance is based on the actor Chow Yun Fat.

Recent evidence suggests that he is now a resident in Glasgow, Scotland, living under the name John Kirkwood. However his action hero status has been greatly tarnished by his girly screaming when he hurt his toe one day.

Unlike most judges in the Judge Dredd universe, Woo operates on both sides of the law as he works undercover in the Triads.
