Newton Stewart Football Club are a football club from the town of Newton Stewart in the Dumfries and Galloway area of Scotland. Formed in 1884, they are nicknamed the Creesiders, because the town stands on the banks of the River Cree.

They compete in the South of Scotland Football League, which they have won on three separate occasions. Home matches are played at Blairmount Park, which holds around 1,500 spectators. There was a stand at the ground at one stage, but this burned down, leaving Blairmount Park a fairly open and undeveloped football venue.

Newton Stewart's strip (uniform) colours are black and white stripes.

As a full member of the Scottish Football Association, the club can play in the Scottish Cup.
