Springfield/Belmont is a Central Ward neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey, in the United States. It is unofficially bounded by South Orange Avenue in the north, Avon Avenue in the south, Martin Luther King Boulevards and University Avenues on the east, and Bergen Street in the west.

At one point, this was the "shtetl" of Eastern European Jews. The Jews of Newark were distinct from the Jews of New York in that most worked as peddlers, grocers, tailors, mechanics, technicians, artisans, jewelers, and repairmen, as opposed to factory workers. Gradually, the Jews of Newark grew in affluence, and many moved south to Weequahic and Hillside, though lower middle-class Jews were to be found in the neighborhood as late as the 1950s. From the 1940s on, many African Americans from Virginia and the Carolinas moved here, attracted by the World War II boom for such local corporations as Westinghouse. By the 1967 Newark riots, this was a slum, with a high concentration of housing projects in the section east of Bergen Street.

Springfield/Belmont's projects were demolished in the 1990s and replaced by small scale public and private housing. Springfield/Belmont is close to 100% African American, and one of Newark's neighborhoods most drastically affected by white flight.

Springfield/Belmont contains many historic buildings along Martin Luther King Boulevard, formerly known as High Street. Describing the street from north to south, a visitor would see the Art-Deco extravagance of Arts High School, classically inspired St. Agnes Greek church, the magnificent Victorian architecture of the Krueger-Scott mansion, the Beaux-Arts Feigenspan Mansion, a Neo-Classical former synagogue, and finally the Moorish former home of Congregation Bnai Jeshurun. Built for a German brewer, the Krueger-Scott mansion was the most expensive home ever built in Newark. Plans are afoot to turn it into a black cultural center.

The 1884 former home of Congregation Oheb Shalom, later Metropolitan Baptist Church, at 32 Prince Street, is being converted to a nature center for Newark by the Greater Newark Conservancy. The building has not yet been restored, but the yard of the old synagogue has been turned into a beautiful community garden.

The most severe destruction from the Newark riots occurred on Bergen Street between Clinton Avenue and Springfield Avenue.

The Springfield branch of the Newark Public Library is located in the Springfield/Belmont neighborhood.
