William Clifford Newman (born August 16, 1928) is an American clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Baltimore from 1984 to 2003.
William Newman was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and graduated from Calvert Hall College in 1946. He then entered St. Charles College in Catonsville, and later earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Mary's Seminary in 1950. In 1954, he received a Licentiate of Sacred Theology from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He was ordained to the priesthood on May 29, 1954. His first assignment was as assistant pastor at St. Elizabeth Church in Baltimore.
From 1962 to 1967, Newman served as the first principal of St. Paul's Latin High School. He was raised to the rank of Papal Chamberlain by Pope Paul VI in June 1965. That same year, he received a Master's degree from Loyola College. From 1967 to 1976, he served as superintendent of Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. During this time, he also became involved in several civic and religious organizations, and served as Secretary of Education for the archdiocese (1972-1974). He became pastor of SS. Philip and James Church in 1976, and rector of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in 1981.
