Charles Edward Kingsley Newman CBE FRCP (16 March 1900 – 22 August 1989) was a British physician and medical school dean.
He studied medicine at King's College Hospital Medical School, where he qualified MRCS, LRCP in 1923 and graduated MB BCh in 1924.
At the outbreak of the second world war he took charge of the children's wards in the hospital, ran the Home Guard, and gradually took over the work of the School until the retirement of the dean, Colonel Proctor, in 1946.
With his secretary, Connie O’Driscoll, Newman—now dean—reorganized the administration of the School, obtained hutted accommodation for new laboratories and enrolled postgraduate students in numbers never envisaged before.
