Thomas Newport, 4th Earl of Bradford (c. 1696 – 18 April 1762[1]), was an English peer and noble.

[2] His mother Mary was the third daughter of Sir Thomas Wilbraham, 3rd Baronet.

[2] After a fall from his horse in his youth, Newport suffered from feeble-mindedness for the rest of his life.

[3] Richard, his father's second son and Member of Parliament, had died in 1716,[4] and so on the death of his oldest brother Henry Newport, 3rd Earl of Bradford, in 1734, he succeeded in the titles and entailed estates, such as Weston Park, Staffordshire.

[3] His estate, including the manor of Walsall, was transferred to his sister Diana, Countess of Mountrath,[5] while all his titles became extinct.
