Rodrigo Muniz scored his first goal since the opening day of last season as Fulham denied Newcastle and head coach Matthias Jaissle a much-needed win at Craven Cottage.
Jacob Murphy looked to have scored a stunning winner 10 minutes from time as he pounced on a loose pass inside the Fulham half before cutting inside and curling a left-foot shot into the far corner from 25 yards.
But less than three minutes later, substitute Cesar Palacios' pass found its way to Muniz, who managed to stab the ball into the far corner.
Both sides had late chances to win the game but Fulham keeper Bernd Leno denied Lewis Hall before Newcastle's Lukas Hornicek made a flying stop to keep out Ryan Sessegnon's stinging effort in stoppage time.
The result means the visitors avoid a fifth defeat in six games to ease the pressure on Jaissle a fraction, but will feel it should have been three points having taken the lead late on.
Meanwhile, Fulham extend their unbeaten run to four Premier League matches.
Alvaro Arbeloa's side were the better team in the first half but struggled to create the chances to back that up, with Josh King, in his first appearance since earning a maiden England call-up, coming closest with a thumping 20-yard volley that Hornicek dived to push wide.
By weight of chances, Newcastle should have been in front with Leno twice keeping out Harvey Barnes, on the second occasion with his face after the winger had sprinted clear.
Dan Burn thought he had put the Magpies ahead from the resulting corner after turning in Murphy's cross.
However, much to Newcastle's frustration, the goal was ruled out for Yoane Wissa holding Timothy Castagne off the ball, preventing the Fulham full-back from moving out to potentially play Burn offside.
Barnes flashed another good chance wide just after the break before Sander Berge arrowed a shot inches past the post for Fulham.
Newcastle had the better of the second period but the game seemed destined to end goalless before Murphy's fine strike led to a lively conclusion.
