Newton Solney is a small village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, England, located about two miles (3 km) from the East Staffordshire border, near to Burton upon Trent.

They called it Niwantune meaning the new farm and from this tiny nucleus, the village slowly grew.

When the Vikings, in their turn, raided Mercia and destroyed the Saxon monastery at Repton (873-4) they may also have sacked and occupied Newton Solney.

The lord of the manor would have had a mill and fishing rights on the river and a tithe barn is recorded in 1528.

The village slowly grew to a population of 181 in 1801 and now has about 800, the increase mainly resulting from a new housing development off Blacksmith's Lane.
