Newton is a small village and civil parish (officially Newton and Biggin) in the Rugby borough of Warwickshire, England.

Newton is located around four miles north east of Rugby, and is close to the A5 road which marks the border with Leicestershire.

Just north of the village are the remains of the Roman town of Tripontium. The village is also at the northern end of the "Great Central Way" the footpath along the trackbed of the old Great Central Railway, near which a lioness sighting took place in 2008.

The main industry in the area is gravel extraction, which continues near the A5. Most of the houses in the village are of modern construction and were built to house workers for this industry.

Edward Cave, the 18th century publisher was born in the village.
