Christopher Alan 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 teammate Kelvin Davis. 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 Willmott join Northampton Town instead, where he scored once against Cambridge United.[1] In the summer of 2005, Willmott joined Oxford United on a free transfer from Northampton. 'Motty' missed the majority of the 2007/08 season through a knee injury.

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

After retiring from football he went into teaching, becoming a master at Bedford Modern School.

In 2022, Willmott joined AFC Rushden and Diamonds as assistant manager.[2]

In October 2022, Chris Willmott joined Kettering Town FC as first team coach and assistant to the manager, Lee Glover.
