NewIcons (or NewIcon) is an icon file format associated with the NewIcons software for Amiga computers. NewIcons is a popular third-party utility that adds support for higher-quality icons.

A NewIcons image is 36×40 pixels, and can have up to 32 colors. Unlike the original icon format, the icon colors are not affected by the user's chosen color scheme.

See Amiga Workbench icon for more information about Amiga icons.
