Out Newton is a hamlet in the civil parish of Easington,^[1] in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated just inland from the North Sea coast, approximately 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south-east of Withernsea, and 4.5 miles (7.2 km) east of Patrington.^[2]

Out Newton was formerly a township in the parish of Easington,^[3] in 1866 Out Newton became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Burton Constable.^[4] In 1931 the parish had a population of 31.^[5]

The hamlet was mentioned in the Domesday Book as having six ploughlands, 20 acres (8.1 ha) of meadowland and four villagers.^[6] The name is believed to stem from Outer Newton, with Newton itself meaning new homestead or village.^[7] It was formerly in the wapentake of Holderness.^[8]

A seven turbine wind farm, capable of generating 9 MW of electricity and operated by RWE, is situated on the coast near to the settlement.^[9]
