Newport is a market town in the borough of Telford and Wrekin and ceremonial county of Shropshire, England, some 6 miles north of Telford. It lies near to the border with the county of Staffordshire. The 2001 census recorded 10,814 people living in the town's parish.

History
The town now lies in the borough and unitary authority of Telford and Wrekin. The A41 runs by the town on a by-pass which opened in early 1985 and the A518 runs through the town from Stafford to Telford. The railway which once ran from Wellington to Stafford, through Newport, has now been dismantled. The canal is also now out of use.
The village of Church Aston, to the south of Newport, has merged with the town, though it is a separate parish.
