Newall is an area of Otley in West Yorkshire, England. It lies on the north bank of the River Wharfe, across Otley Bridge from the central area of the town. The Wharfedale Hospital is in Newall.

The place-name, recorded in 1166 as Niuhale, simply means "New Hall".^[1]

Newall was historically part of the township of Newall with Clifton in the ancient parish of Otley in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The township became a separate civil parish in 1866. In 1903 Newall was transferred from the civil parish of Newall with Clifton to the civil parish and urban district of Otley.^[2] In 1974 Newall was transferred, with the rest of Otley, to the City of Leeds Metropolitan Borough in the new county of West Yorkshire, whereas the civil parish of Newall with Clifton (which, despite its name, no longer included Newall) was transferred to Harrogate district in North Yorkshire.
