Norrie became the second British player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam with a convincing win over Johnson.
On Centre Court, Norrie easily beat Johnson.
The ace closed out the final set in perfect fashion.
Norrie will face another player from the US, Tommy Paul, after he beat Jiri Vesely.
The last 16 of a Grand Slam in singles for the first time has been reached by two players in the same day.
Since arriving there in October, Norrie has remained inside the top 15 due to consistent tour performances.
He has been able to double his tally of titles during the next four years, but he hasn't been able to make a serious run at a major.
He became the 12th British man to reach the last 16 at Wimbledon in the Open Era when he reached the third round.
The left-handed player had to fight back from two sets to one down against Spaniard Jaume Munar in the previous round, before showing the necessary steel to come through his first ever five set match at SW19.
His best Slam result was against Johnson who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2016 but he did not face any difficulties against him.
Ryan Peniston's hopes of reaching the second round were ended by the American.
The crowd enjoyed a hugely impressive win for the home favourite as he made 43 unforced errors and eight double faults.
After Norrie's final love hold confirmed a victory that had been inevitable, there was already a party atmosphere on Centre Court.
He was unable to take his first two break point opportunities of the contest as Johnson battled back to deuce and eventually held serve for 2-2.
The American was able to frustrate his opponent from the same position and use his serve to great effect.
Norrie was finally rewarded for his perseverance when he seized his second set point with a backhand winner to end Johnson's resistance.
Having faced two break points in the opening game before escaping with another fine backhand, an expectant Centre Court became increasingly vocal as the home favourite struck early in the second set - confidentlyConsolidating his break with a love hold for 2-0.
Norrie, who frequently outmanoeuvred his opponent, then responded emphatically to a break back chance for Johnson at 3-1, winning three successive games to take a big step towards victory.
After Johnson conceded on a fifth break point in the opening game of a must-win third set, the crowd rose to their feet and acknowledged Norrie's efforts once the formality had been completed.
