Newstead is a town in Victoria, Australia. It is in the Shire of Mount Alexander local government area. At the 2001 census, Newstead had a population of 525.[1]

It has two pubs, community centre, cafe, a general store, a Rural Transaction Centre (with Internet café, Bendigo Bank, library, daycare and other services), a small IGA, a swimming pool, as well as a monthly newspaper, the Newstead Echo. The Loddon River that flows through the town has caused a levee bank to be built in 1912 which has stopped the town from flooding several times. The old courthouse has now become the Newstead historical society and holds all of Newstead history and plans.
