Harold White (16 June 1876 – 11 January 1965) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.

White was born at Kirkstall in June 1876. He later studied at Keble College at the University of Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against A. J. Webbe's XI at Oxford in 1900.[2] He played first-class cricket for Oxford University until 1901, making eleven appearances.[2] Playing as a right-arm fast bowler, White took 31 wickets at an average of 23.38, with best figures of 6 for 10.[3] These figures were his only first-class five wicket haul and came against Sussex at Hove in 1900.[4] His teammates while playing for Oxford included Bernard Bosanquet, and, Tip Foster, a future England captain.

After graduating from Oxford he became an anglican clergyman. While working as a clergyman at Cramlington,[1] White played minor counties cricket for Northumberland between 1909–1913, making eight appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[5] His career as a clergyman later took him to Killingworth, Bugbrooke, and Chawton.[1] He died at Taunton in January 1965.
