Newgrounds is a website headquartered in Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA and created in 1995 that primarily hosts Adobe Flash animated films and games. The site was created and is owned by Tom Fulp (born April 30, 1978), who still oversees every aspect and regularly produces in-house content. Newgrounds is distinguished from other Flash websites by its sophisticated and impartial automated submission/rating system.

Newgrounds allows its users to submit their own flash movies, games, and music, and view submissions from other users. Over the years Newgrounds has grown significantly, by relying on the cooperation of its visitors. Newgrounds ranks in the top 600 sites on the Internet according to the website Alexa. Visitors are encouraged to review and vote on submissions. The rating system produces lists that direct visitors to the most popular flash movies and allows the site designers or users to easily locate any submission based on a number of factors, including score or Portal Awards. The site has over 1.2 million registered members and over 400,000 flash submissions submitted as of September 2007. Of those, around 110,000 have survived the auto-delete system known as "blamming."

On 16th July 2007, Newgrounds underwent a total redesign which changed the site while keeping it aesthetically similar. Though many of the features included within the site, many other features have been added. To make up for the huge cost of memory, Newgrounds has removed the PSP section to save room for more upcoming features. No specific news has been included to whether the PSP section will be recovered or not.
