John White Newall (21 July 1917 – 21 January 2004), more commonly known as Jock Newall, was an association football player who represented New Zealand at international level.

Newall made his full All Whites debut, a 0–2 loss to New Caledonia on 19 September 1951[1] and ended his international playing career with 10 A-international caps[2] and an incredible 16 goals to his credit.[3] He scored 4 hat-tricks in official FIFA internationals, including a 4-goal haul in his final cap appearance, a 5–3 win over Tahiti on 28 September 1952.[1] Including unofficial matches, Newall scored 28 goals in just 17 games for the All Whites,[4] a record only exceeded only by Vaughan Coveny who scored 30, including 29 official international goals in 64 matches.[5]
