Newport Castle is a castle ruin in the city of Newport, South Wales and is a Grade II* Listed building. It is the castle that gives Newport its name in the Welsh language, Castell Newydd, shortened to Casnewydd ('New Castle'). The 'new' is a reference to the 'old' Roman fortress in nearby Caerleon or the older motte and bailey castle on Stow Hill.
