Christopher Alan "Chris" Willmott (born 30 September 1977, in Bedford, England) is an English retired footballer.

Willmott began his career at Luton Town, before a move to Wimbledon alongside team-mate Kelvin Davis due to the Hatters financial difficulties at the time. He returned to Luton on loan in 2002/03, and was all set to return on a Bosman transfer in the summer of 2003 as well as fellow loanee Sammy Igoe.

However, the take-over and subsequent dismissal of the Luton management team saw Chris join Northampton Town instead, where he scored once against Cambridge United. In the summer of 2005, Chris joined Oxford on a free transfer from Northampton. He has proved to be a quality signing for Oxford with a series of outstanding performances. 'Motty' has missed the majority of the 2007/08 season through a knee injury. It is not known when he will return.

He was released by Oxford United at the end of the 2008/09 season. Chris has signed a two-year contract with Southern League Premier Division side Brackley Town. Chris now plays for Conference North team Oxford City where he is vice-captain.
