Alysha Newman (born 29 June 1994) is a Canadian track and field athlete specialized in pole vault. She is the reigning Commonwealth Games champion in the women's pole vault following the 2018 Games in the Gold Coast, where she set a new Games record of 4.75 m.

Newman's first sport was gymnastics, which she was forced to abandon at the age of 13 after injuring a lower back vertebra. After one year off sports where she considered ice hockey and diving, she chose track and field, and was directed by a coach to vaulting due to her gymnastics background.

In 2013, she joined Eastern Michigan University, soon becoming Mid-American Conference champion and competing in the NCAA tournament.

Afterwards, she was transferred to the University of Miami, following her coach Jerel Langley. Newman graduated in 2016, majoring in exercise physiology with a minor in nutrition.

Newman successfully cleared 4.60 m (15 ft 1 in) at the University of Miami's Hurricane Alumni Invitational on 9 April 2016, breaking the University of Miami school record, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) record, and the Canadian National record in the women's pole vault. In June, Newman won the silver medal at the 2016 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships and finished as a six-time NCAA Division I All-American.
