Newburgh Hamilton (1691–1761) was an Irish author and librettist. He was born in County Tyrone, Ireland (now Northern Ireland) and entered Trinity College, Dublin, in 1708, aged sixteen, but (as was common in those days) he left without obtaining a degree. He is known to have been George Frederick Handel's librettist for three works: Alexander's Feast (1736), Samson (1743) and the Occasional Oratorio (1746). In writing the libretto for Handel's Samson (1743), he followed John Milton's Samson Agonistes rather than creating it from the story found in the Book of Judges. His comedy The Petticoat-Plotter was presented at Drury Lane on 5 June 1712 and The Doating Lovers was premièred at Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre on 23 June 1715.

Il est connu pour avoir été le librettiste de Haendel pour trois de ses oratorios : Alexander's Feast (1736), Samson (1743) et l'Occasional Oratorio (1746). Ces livrets sont des adaptations de poèmes d'écrivains anglais, et par exemple, celui de Samson s'inspire du (en) de John Milton plutôt que directement du récit biblique du Livre des Juges qui en est la source.
