  • Frank Newby (* 26. März 1926 in Barnsley; † 10. Mai 2001 in London) war ein britischer Bauingenieur. Newby studierte 1943 bis 1947 Mechanik (Ingenieurwesen) an der Universität Cambridge (Trinity College) und war dann im obligatorischen National Service. Ab 1949 war er im Ingenieurbüro von Felix Samuely in London. 1951 erreichten beide große Aufmerksamkeit durch ihr Skylon auf dem Festival of Britain, eine Tensegrity-Struktur aus Stahl, die von länglicher stromlinienförmiger Form war und in der Luft zu schweben schien. 1952 fuhr er in die USA und besuchte Designer und Architekten wie Charles Eames, Ray Eames und Eero Saarinen. 1956 wurde er Partner im Büro von Samuely in London und nach dessen Tod 1959 leitete er das Ingenieurbüro.
