Newton Bewley is a village and civil parish in the borough of Hartlepool and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is situated between the towns of Hartlepool and Billingham. The postal area code is TS22 for Teesside but uses a Sedgefield telephone area code. At the 2011 census the population of the civil parish was less than 100. Details can be found in the parish of Greatham.

For a number of years the residents of neighbouring town, Hartlepool, have spread a rumour that Newton Bewley is a village of wax people. The rumour is based on the fact that, although Newton Bewley is situated on a very busy main road, the A689, nobody is able to quote a date when a living person has actually been seen in the village. The myth is strengthened by local-interest websites that fail to mention real names, and feature images of mannequins or empty rooms.
