Newbiggin is a village in County Durham, in England. Its population at the 2011 census was 146. It is situated on the north side of Teesdale, opposite Holwick. An influx of Derbyshire lead miners into the area in the late 18th century may have brought the name from Biggin.

In February 2022 Robert Hooper, a hill farmer from the village, was cleared of charges of dangerous driving and criminal damage, at Durham Crown Court, after he used a telehandler with forks to lift a car from a lane outside his farm, flip it and push it on its side on to the road outside.
