Scott Alexander Newman (born 3 November 1979) is an English cricketer, who played first-class cricket for Middlesex and Surrey. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler.

He was educated at Trinity School of John Whitgift.

An opening batsman, his first class debut (for Surrey) in 2002 against Hampshire was sealed with an innings of 99, followed by an innings of 183 in the next match against Leicestershire. He was selected in 2003/04 to attend the ECB national academy and toured subsequently to India.

In May 2005, he made history as the first Surrey player to hit consecutive innings of a century and a double century in the same game, against Glamorgan.[1]

In 2009, he spent time on loan at Nottinghamshire before leaving Surrey at the end of the season to join traditional rivals Middlesex.[2]

He is quite a defensive opening bat, who has not excelled in one day cricket in the same way that he has in the longer form of the game. He scored 101 with a valiant innings in which he battled cramp and a two paced track on debut for Abbots Langley Cricket Club(who are currently top of the league)

On 12 March 2012 Newman joined Kent on loan for the first two months of the season. He played four matches for Kent with his highest score being 89 against Oxford MCCU.[3]
