Arthur William Newman (15 September 1883 – 16 March 1966) was an English first-class cricketer.

Newman was born at Westbury, Wiltshire in September 1883. He made his debut in minor counties cricket for Wiltshire in the 1903 Minor Counties Championship.[1]

His debut in first-class cricket came four years later for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Derbyshire at Lord's.[2] He played further first-class matches for Marylebone in 1909 against Oxford University, and ten years later in 1919 against Cambridge University, before playing against the touring West Indians in 1923.[2] His final appearance in first-class cricket came for the West of England against the touring New Zealanders at Exeter in 1927.[2] He continued to play minor counties cricket for Wiltshire until 1930, by which time he had made 191 appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[1] He died at Melksham, Wiltshire in March 1966.
