Johanna Griggs (born October 1973) is a former swimmer and current television presenter from Australia. Griggs represented Australia at the Auckland Commonwealth Games winning a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke but her career was cut short after a lengthy battle with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Griggs, who was previously married to actor Gary Sweet, has two sons. Griggs who has built a solid career in media was a regular panelist on Network Ten program, "Beauty and the Beast" before she joined Seven Network. At Seven, Griggs has hosted "Auction Squad" and "House Calls to the Rescue" and participated in the Australian Open coverage, and was the first Australian woman to solely host an Olympics' coverage when she covered the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
