text: # List of Old Newingtonians awarded Imperial and Australian honours
  
  This is a list of Old Newingtonians awarded Imperial and Australian honours. Imperial honours are the orders, decorations, and medals of the United Kingdom that were awarded to Australian citizens prior to the institution of the Australian honours system in 1975. Australian honours have been awarded to Australian citizens since 1975. The Centenary Medal was established in 2001 to commemorate the Centenary of Federation of Australia, and was awarded on one occasion, 1 January 2001. The Australian Sports Medal was instituted to commemorate Australian sporting achievement in the year 2000. Following changes made on 4 December 2020, it is awarded to commemorate Australian sporting participation in multi-sports events.
  
  Old Newingtonians are alumni of Newington College, an independent Uniting Church single-sex primary and secondary day and boarding school for boys, located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
