Newton is a neighbourhood in St. John's East Extern, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Newton is located at 47.6597°N, 52.7169°W.

Newton lies nestled in a hollow where the land begins its gentle rise from the salty breath of Conception Bay. It lies 20.6 km north-north-east of St. John's, NL (from St. John's, NL: bearing 17°T), and is situated 6.0 km north of Wedgewood Park. Rolling hills, softened by a patchwork of spruce and fir, embrace the small settlement, their slopes often cloaked in a mist that lends an ethereal quality to the early mornings. Scattered homes, their roofs a cheerful defiance against the often-grey skies, dot the landscape, interspersed with small fields where hardy grasses and the occasional vegetable patch stubbornly hold their ground. A sense of quiet repose pervades Newton, a feeling that the days unfold with the steady, unhurried cadence of the tides, marked by the distant cry of gulls and the whisper of wind through the evergreens. The history of Newton is intrinsically tied to the bounty and challenge of the sea. For generations, fishing was the lifeblood of this place, shaping its character and the resilience of its people. While the traditional cod fishery has waned, the spirit of enterprise remains, now often channeled into smaller-scale aquaculture and the steady work of local trades. The landscape itself bears the marks of this past, with weathered outbuildings and the faint scars of old trails crisscrossing the terrain, hinting at the lives lived and the stories held within the very soil of Newton. The air here, especially after a spring rain, carries the scent of damp earth and the faint, briny tang of the nearby ocean, a constant reminder of the powerful forces that have shaped this corner of the island.
