Harry Christopher Novillo (born 11 February 1992) is a Martiniquais professional footballer who recently played as a striker and winger .

Born in Lyon, France, Novillo joined Lyon when he was seven years old in 1999, having previously played for another youth academy, Saint-Fons. Novillo was promoted to professional team in July 2010.

He made his professional debut at Lyon on 7 August 2010 in a league match against Monaco, coming on as a substitute for Ederson. Novillo made his second appearance for Lyon on 13 August 2011 in a league match against Ajaccio, coming on as a substitute for Bafétimbi Gomis. Two years later, Novillo made two Europa League appearances against Sparta Prague and Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona.

On deadline day, Novillo joined Le Havre on loan for the rest of the 2011–12 season. Novillo made his Le Havre debut on 9 September 2011, in a 2–1 win over Tours. Eleven days later on 20 September 2011, Novillo scored his first goal for the club, in a 1–1 draw against Le Mans. Novillo went on to make sixteen appearances for the club, having been absent throughout the season.

In January 2013, Novillo joined Gazélec Ajaccio on loan until the end of the season. Novillo's debut was delayed over dislocated shoulder in training that will keep him out from fifteen to twenty days. However, Novillo's debut came on 15 February 2013, which he scored, in a 3–2 loss against Nîmes Olympique. His second goal then came on 29 March 2013, in a 2–1 loss against Chamois Niortais. Novillo went on to make seven appearances and scoring twice for Gazélec Ajaccio. Upon returning to his parent club, Novillo was released by the club on 22 August 2013. Novillo later stated he left because of his strained relationship with then Manager Rémi Garde.

After leaving Lyon, Novillo moved abroad to Belgium by joining Mons on a two-year contract, with an options of extending into two years and was given number 10 shirt. Novillo made his Mons debut on 14 September 2013, coming on as a substitute for Mustapha Jarju, in a 1–1 draw against Waasland-Beveren.

However, Novillo only made two appearances and at the end of the season, Novillo was released by the club. Novillo said about his move on Mons, quoting: " I did not play due to certain people who had problems with those who had slightly darker skin than others" and "I think that the Belgian way of life was not for me. Already the Flemish and the Walloons don't like each other so it won't be the French who they particularly like either! That is what counted against me when I went over there. They did not want to play me for reasons that they themselves seemed to ignore."

Novillo returned to France by joining Clermont on a three-year contract.
