Walter Damián Montillo ( born April 14, 1984 in Lanús, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentine footballer who currenlty plays midfield for Universidad de Chile. He began in the youth ranks of Argentine club San Lorenzo. His professional debut came in 2002. In 2006, he moved to Mexican side Monarcas Morelia. He was a fixture in the starting line-up for the Mexican club. He returned to San Lorenzo in 2007, but did not find regularity with the first team, only playing six games. In 2008, he was sold to Universidad de Chile for $1 million and signed a five-year contract with the club. At the time the price tag was the most ever paid by a Chilean club. However since the move, Colo-Colo paid $1.2 million for Domingo Salcedo and then paid $2.2 for Macnelly Torres.

He played for Argentina U-20 in the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship in United Arab Emirates. He played in most of the team's game.
