Mark Newell (born 19 December 1973) is an English former cricketer and current first-class cricket umpire.[1][2] He was a right-handed batsman and occasional right-arm bowler who played for Sussex County Cricket Club and Derbyshire County Cricket Club between 1995 and 1999. He joined the ECB panel of first-class umpires in 2017.[3][4]

Signing professional terms for his home county Sussex in 1994, Newell joined his elder brother Keith on the Sussex playing staff for the 1995 season, having enjoyed a successful year at Lord's on the young cricketers staff.

Newell made his first-class and List A debuts in 1996. It was in the short format that Newell proved most successful for Sussex, averaging 35 over the course of the next two seasons for the county. The Championship provided some success but no consistency of note. Three Championship centuries were scored including a career-high 135 not out against Derbyshire but a drastic loss of form half way through 1998 led to his being dropped and making no further appearances for the county.

A short-term deal at Derbyshire for the 1999 season was unsuccessful and he was subsequently released at the end of the season and played no further cricket at first-class level.

Newell joined the ECB first class umpiring panel in 2017 as a reserve list umpire, graduating to the full time list with the formation of the Professional Umpires Team in 2022.
