Newport is an electoral ward in North Devon, Devon, England, occupying a compact area close to the urban fringe where town gives way to countryside.

The ward is largely residential, a mix of older terraces and more modern housing, with local shops, community facilities and small businesses serving day-to-day needs. There are local community groups and parish-level political activity typical of North Devon wards, and the area reflects the county’s blend of maritime and rural heritage alongside contemporary suburban life.
