The term New Calendar may refer to one of two calendars in the Orthodox Church:
- The Gregorian Calendar, a calendar introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII of the Roman Catholic Church
- The Revised Julian Calendar, the calendar considered by a synod of Orthodox churches in 1923 in Constantinople. This is functionally identical to the Gregorian Calendar except for the Paschal cycle (which is still reckoned according to the Julian timetables) and leap year calculation.
