Newark-on-Trent or Newark is a market town and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England. It is on the River Trent, and was historically a major inland port.

It grew up round Newark Castle, now ruined, as a centre for the wool and cloth trades. In the English Civil War, it was besieged by Parliamentary forces and relieved by Royalist forces under Prince Rupert. Newark has a market place still lined with historic buildings and its notable landmark is the St Mary Magdalene church with its towering spire at 232 feet high and the highest structure in the town.
