Newport market was a market in the Charing Cross area of the City of Westminster (London, England). The market opened in the late 17th century and was principally a meat market. By the mid-nineteenth century the area had become a slum and was redeveloped into Charing Cross Road in the late 19th century.

The Sewerman. (Volume 3): "Time ago you couldn’t get a rat under sixpence. But the tax on dogs has done away wonderful with rat-killing. London would swarm with rats if they hadn’t been ketched as they has been. I can go along shores and only see one or two now, sometimes see none. Times ago I’ve drove away twenty or thirty afore me. Round Newport-market I’ve seen a hundred together, and now I go round there and perhaps won’t ketch one."
