Obernewtyn is the first novel in the Obernewtyn Chronicles series by Australian author Isobelle Carmody.

Much of the inspiration for the protagonist, Elspeth Gordie, comes from her own life experiences. It was published by Penguin Books in Australia in 1987 and shortlisted for the Book of the Year for Older Readers in the Children's Book Council of Australia Awards.
