John Newton is a Paralympic athlete from Australia. He competed in wheelchair fencing, snooker and table tennis at the 1968 Tel Aviv Paralympics, winning a bronze medal in snooker after losing in the semi-final to the eventual gold medallist, Michael Shelton of Great Britain. At the 1984 New York and Stoke Mandeville Paralympics he competed in lawn bowls, winning a bronze medal in the men's singles A6/8 event. The source consulted gives no birth date, so none is recorded here, and this entry records his lawn bowls result alongside his other Paralympic sports.
