The New Newport stadium is a proposed stadium to be built for the City of Newport in the United Kingdom.

On September 4 2007 it was announced that the existing Rodney Parade stadium on the east bank of the River Usk in the city centre is due to be redeveloped into a 15,000-capacity ground by the beginning of the 2010 rugby union season. The new stadium is backed by Newport City Council, Newport Unlimited, Newport RFC and the Newport Gwent Dragons. A previous rival proposal to build an entirely new out-of-town stadium appears to have been shelved.

As of September 2007 no name has been put forward for the stadium.
