Edward Newton (31 October 1871 — 9 May 1906) was an English first-class cricketer.
Newton was born in October 1871 at Blackmoor, Hampshire. A club cricketer in Southampton for Deanery Cricket Club,[1] he made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Lancashire at Old Trafford in the 1900 County Championship, with Newton making seventeen first-class appearances in 1900.[2] Described by Wisden as a "very useful batsman, [and] a most brilliant field",[3] he scored a total of 568 runs in these matches, at an average of 18.32; he made three half centuries, with a highest score of 69. In the field, he took eight catches.[4] Besides playing, Newton coached cricket at Marlborough College, where amongst the students he coached there was Reggie Spooner, who would later play Test cricket for England.[3] Newton died from pneumonia at Edinburgh in May 1906.[3]
