Mark Newman (September 7, 1772 – June 15, 1859) was an American educator, deacon, and publisher and 3rd Principal[a] of Phillips Academy Andover from 1795 to 1809.

While he is known primarily for his work at Phillips Academy, the majority of his career was spent as a publisher and bookseller in the same town.

Newman was a charity student, or in other words, on financial aid, funded by the Academy's founder, John Phillips.

[4] Almost immediately after graduating from Dartmouth in 1793, Newman returned to Andover on July 5 to take on an assistant teaching role.

In 1797 a committee was formed to address discipline and in 1798 Newman established a militia company composed of students and young boys in the town as a reward for demonstrating good character.

The Trustees installed additional seating in the Academy Building in 1799 and added amenities such as window blinds and a clock in 1804.

[7] Samuel Phillips, the founder, made two later gifts, the first of $1000 in 1801 and the second in 1802 of $4000 as a bequest to fund school textbooks and assist people in the town of Andover, including female teachers and poor Christians.

[10] He was very involved in the new school's establishment, moderating meetings in response to its proposal in 1828, leading the effort in the construction of its first building, and donating the one-acre parcel it originally sat on.

[15] No longer the principal of Phillips Academy, bookselling was his primary occupation for the remainder of his career.

[16] Newman pursued a career spanning fifty years after resigning as principal of Phillips Academy.

[17] Met with financial troubles, be moved in 1818 to a house on Central Street closer to the South Church.

George Mooar, then pastor of the South Church, delivered a funeral sermon which would be published titled The Enduring and Varying Beauty of a Good Man's Life.
