Nouria Newman (born 9 September 1991 in Chambéry is a French slalom canoeist who competed at the international level from 2007 to 2015.

She won two medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with a gold in 2014 (K1 team) and a silver in 2013 (K1). She also won a bronze medal in the K1 team event at the 2014 European Championships in Vienna.[1]

She made a solo kayaking expedition Ladakh 2018 sponsored by Red Bull. She paddled down the Tsarap - Zanskar - Indus River in 7 days, covering 375 km; and was, in her own words, after getting hung up on a rock at one point, lucky to be alive. She made a 13 minute video of this journey which is on YouTube.[2] She was the first female to paddle a 100 foot waterfall (Pucono Falls, Ecuador)[3]

Nouria's life and accomplishments were the focus of the 2022 Red Bull film, Wild Waters. [4]
