Newton is an area of Hyde, in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England. Originally a separate district in Cheshire, it was incorporated into Hyde in the 1930s, and occupies a narrow strip of land from the River Tame near Newton Hall to Matley, and lies between Hyde and Dukinfield. Newton still uses the Cheshire name in its addresses, however, and is in the SK Post code region and uses the code SK14.

Newton can be divided into four separate parts, working uphill from the river:

• Newton Green
• Flowery Field
• Newton Moor
• Newton

On the road to Matley, (Matley Lane), lies the former site of Shaw Hall factory.
