Surrey—Newton is a federal electoral district in British Columbia. It encompasses a portion of British Columbia previously included in the electoral districts of Fleetwood—Port Kells, Newton—North Delta and Surrey North.[3]

Surrey—Newton was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, which took place October 2015.[4]

The riding takes its name from Newton, Surrey.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding will be renamed Surrey Newton at the first election held after approximately April 2024.[5] It will lose the area south of 64 Ave and west of 126 Street to Delta.
