Temple Newsam is an estate in the county of West Yorkshire, England, east of Leeds.

It is the site of a Knights Templar estate. In the 16th century, a Jacobean[?] stately home was built on the site, which is described by some as "the Hampton Court of the North". The gardens were modelled by Capability Brown.
