Joaquín Ariel Novillo (born 19 February 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Chilean Primera División club Deportes Iquique.

Club career
Novillo played for Belgrano at youth level, notably being selected as part of their squad for the 2016 Torneo di Viareggio in Italy. He was moved by Diego Osella into his senior squad after the 2018–19 Primera División's mid-season break, subsequently appearing for his senior bow in a goalless draw in the league with Unión Santa Fe on 27 January 2019; he participated in the full ninety minutes, picking up a yellow card in the process.

Once returning from a loan spell at Racing Club in 2021, Novillo was sent out on loan once again in January 2022, this time to Colón until the end of the year.

On 2 January 2023, Novillo signed for Huracán on a season-long loan from Belgrano, with a future option to make the move permanent.

On 14 August 2023, Belgrano sent Novillo on a season-long loan to Primeira Liga side Vizela.

In January 2024, after having failed to make any appearances for Vizela, Belgrano's loan was cancelled and he joined recently promoted to Chilean Primera División club Deportes Iquique.

International career
In 2019, Novillo received an U23 call-up for Pan American Games in Peru. Argentina won the competition, as Novillo appeared in five matches.
