John Brockenbrough Newton (February 7, 1839 – May 28, 1897) was bishop coadjutor[1] of Virginia, but he died in that post, without succeeding to the diocesan See.

At the beginning of the American Civil War, he entered the Confederate army as a private in the 40th Virginia Infantry, where he served as assistant surgeon and later as full surgeon.

After the war, he continued to practice medicine until 1870, when he commenced studies for the ordained ministry.

He was elected Coadjutor Bishop of Virginia on January 31, 1894, and was consecrated in Monumental Church on May 16, 1894, by Francis McNeece Whittle, Bishop of Virginia; Thomas Underwood Dudley, Bishop of Kentucky; and George William Peterkin, Bishop of West Virginia at the Diocese's 99th Annual Convention in Richmond, Virginia on May 16, 1894.
