Colin Derek White (4 April 1937 – 27 February 2012) was an English first-class cricketer.

Born at Chiswick in April 1937, White later attended Cranleigh School, where he played for the school cricket team.[1] After leaving Cranleigh, he went up to the University of Cambridge. It was there that he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club against Surrey at Fenner's in 1958.[2] In his sixth match of 1958 against the touring New Zealanders, White was hit in the mouth by a delivery from Bob Blair.[1] However, two weeks later he was back playing, making a further nine first-class appearances in 1958.[2] Thereafter, he only appeared sporadically in 1958 and 1959, making seven further appearances.[2] White made a total of 22 first-class appearances for the university, scoring a total of 549 runs at an average of just 14.83.[3] His highest score of 64, one of two half centuries he made, came against Nottinghamshire in 1960.[3][4] He made a final appearance in first-class cricket for the Free Foresters in 1961.[2] After graduating from Cambridge, he became a banker.[1] White died at Epsom in February 2012.
