Richard Newton (London, 19 May 1777 – 8 December 1798, Covent Garden, London ) was an English caricaturist, miniaturist and book illustrator . This short-lived but brilliant 18th-century artist published his first caricature at thirteen.
His work included definitive caricatures expressing the English prejudice of the Scots as lean and hungry opportunists.
He worked for radical publisher William Holland, producing powerful anti-slavery works among his output, as well as "rude assaults" against Napoleon and the Royal Family.
Newton minded Holland's shop when Holland was imprisoned for sedition during 1793–94.
