John White (February 14, 1802–September 22, 1845) was a prominent U.S. politician during the 1840s.
White was a native of Kentucky and practiced law there. White was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1832. He served as the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1841 to 1843, and was a member of the United States Congress from 1835 to 1845.
White was appointed judge of the nineteenth judicial district of Kentucky and served in that capacity from February 8, 1845, until his death in Richmond, Kentucky on September 22, 1845. His nephew, John Daugherty White would go on to represent Kentucky's 9th district in the late 1870's.
White is buried in the State Cemetery at Frankfort, Kentucky.
