Murray A. Newman (1924 – March 18, 2016) was an American-born Canadian public aquarium director, curator and zoologist. He served as the founding director of the Vancouver Aquarium for 37 years, from 1955 until his retirement in 1993. Newman oversaw the opening of the Vancouver Aquarium in June 1956. During his tenure, Newman championed research and conservation, areas that had not previously been a priority by staff at other aquariums. Newman, who had a firm interest in the Canadian Arctic, created field expeditions and research programs in the country's Far North which continue to the present day.
