Graham Anthony Newdick (11 January 1949 – 25 August 2020) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington between 1970 and 1981.[2]

An opening batsman, Newdick's most successful season was his first, in 1970–71.[3] He scored 404 runs in the Plunket Shield at an average of 50.50, forming a productive opening partnership for Wellington with Bruce Murray, and hitting his highest score, 143 against Auckland.[4] He was a consistent run-scorer for Wellington for the rest of his career. He also represented Hutt Valley in the Hawke Cup from 1968 to 1984.[5]

Newdick worked in the construction industry, running his own companies and later playing a leading part in the construction apprenticeship body, BCITO.[6] He was also the cricket coach at Wellington College, Wellington, and St Patrick's College, Silverstream, in Upper Hutt.[7] He moved to England a year before his death.[8]
