Clarence Benton "Buddie" Newman (May 8, 1921 – October 13, 2002) was an American politician who served as Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives from 1976 to 1988.

He was elected to one term in the state senate before beginning his 36-year career in the House, representing his native Issaquena County.

A conservative Democrat, Newman was a close ally of House Speaker Walter Sillers Jr. and Governor Ross Barnett, supporting racial segregation throughout the Civil Rights era and afterward.

Newman was born on May 8, 1921, at the Railroad Section Foreman's House in Valley Park, Mississippi, the fifth child of Minnie Belle (Prine) and Josephus Clarence Newman Sr., a farmer and foreman for the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad.
