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. His visual appearance is based on the actor Chow Yun Fat.

Not to be confused with Jonny Woo who is a popular, subversive gay cabaret artiste in Shoreditch, East London and host of Gay Bingo.
