Newcomb is a residential suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. At the 2021 census, Newcomb had a population of 4,704.
The Post Office opened on 2 July 1962 as the suburb developed.
The suburb has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Bellarine Football League.
The majority of Newcomb residential areas consist of mid 20th century homes, with no capacity for new housing estates, although there is a growing trend to subdivide larger blocks to build flats, whether by demolishing existing houses or by building behind them.
House prices in the area have grown exponentially within the last few years due largely to being close and easily accessible by essential services. Average house prices in the suburb in 2015 were $292,000 (only slightly more expensive than near-by Whittington), compared to $500,000 as of early 2021.
