Aidan Newhouse (born May 23 1972, Wallasey) was a professional footballer who holds the record for being the youngest player to appear for Chester City in a Football League match. He also played top-flight football for Wimbledon.

Newhouse was just 15 years and 350 days old when he was brought on a substitute on the final day of the 1987–88 season in a 1-0 win for Chester at Bury. As a 16-year old apprentice, Newhouse enjoyed a regular place in the Chester side during the 1988–89 season, with his first goal arriving in a 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town in September 1988. By the following season Newhouse was a member of the England youth squad and a full-time professional, and in February 1990 he moved to Wimbledon for an initial £100,000.

Unfortunately, Newhouse managed just seven starting league appearances in as many years with the Dons. He did though gain some first-team experience in loan spells with Port Vale, Portsmouth and Torquay United. In June 1997 Newhouse finally moved on when he joined Fulham, but four months later he signed for Swansea City. Again appearances were limited and Newhouse joined Brighton & Hove Albion in August 1999, where just one start was made.

In December 1999 Newhouse joined Nationwide Conference club Sutton United, followed by a spell with Northwich Victoria the following season.
