Greg Newton (born September 7, 1974 in Niagara Falls, Ontario) was center for the Duke Blue Devils basketball team from 1994-1997. Newton was Team Captain in his senior season. ^[1] He was a member of the Canadian National Team, that finished seventh in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

Newton averaged 7.6 points per game for his career.^[2] When Tim Duncan was told that Newton had called him soft, he cited Newton's dubious credentials and facetiously asked how anyone could argue with that. "Greg Newton's everybody's All-American."

Newton was suspended from Duke in 1995 for cheating on a computer science exam.^[3]

Newton played professionally with the USBL's Raleigh Cougars. The Cougars promoted him by citing his greatest accomplishment - at the time, he was 1 away from Duke's top 10 in blocks.

Newton also played professionally in Brazil.
