"The Last Newhart" is the 24th episode of the eighth season and the 184th overall episode and final episode of the CBS sitcom Newhart. It first aired in the United States on 21 May 1990.

Considered one of the most memorable series finales in television history, the series is ultimately revealed to be a dream by Dr. Robert Hartley, the lead character from Bob Newhart's earlier sitcom The Bob Newhart Show, which had ended four years before Newhart aired. The ending has been parodied frequently since it aired.
