The Johnson Philharmonic Orchestra is a symphony orchestra based in San Jose, California founded in 1927. It is the in-house orchestra for many Johnson Industries productions.

The JPO was created in 1927 after then-Johnson CEO Vincent Johnson wanted a "richer" and "more dynamic" sound for Johnson Studios films. He enlisted his brother, Wilbur Johnson, as the first conductor for the orchestra.
