Charlie Henry Newman (28 February 1857 – 28 September 1922) was a Welsh international three-quarter who played club rugby for Newport.

Newman played matches arranged by the South Wales Football Club, before the creation of the Welsh Rugby Union.

In 1876 he was part of a team that was made up of Welsh player that faced Clifton, and in December the same year beat Hereford.

The Wales team was made up of players based more on reputation and background and was comprehensively beaten.

After retiring from rugby he became an Anglican clergyman,[3] as would James Bevan and Edward Peake, both teammates of Newman in the first Welsh international.
