Karen Emilie Johnsen (1899–1980) was an early female Danish lawyer and judge. In 1949, she became the second woman in Denmark to serve as a high court judge, following in the footsteps of Ragnhild Fabricius Gjellerup. She was particularly active in dealing with property cases resulting from the Second World War. Johnsen also supported women's interests, serving on the board of the Danish Women's Society for almost 20 years. In 1952, she represented Denmark at the UNESCO conference in Paris.
