Charles Johnstone Willock (8 April 1862 – 19 March 1919) was an English cricketer. Willock was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace. He was born at Shahjehanpore in India.

Educated at Wellington College and later attending Trinity Hall, Cambridge, Willock made a single first-class appearance for Cambridge University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Fenner's in 1883.
