The Borough of Newport (Welsh: ) was one of the five local government districts of Gwent from 1974 to 1996. The district comprised the county borough of Newport and several surrounding parishes.
The district was formed by the Local Government Act 1972, from the county borough of Newport, the Caerleon Urban District and Magor and St Mellons Rural District except the parishes of Henllys and St Mellons from the administrative county of Monmouthshire.
The borough was abolished in 1996 by the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, when it was reconstituted as the unitary authority of Newport.
