James Leslie White (9 September 1890 – 27 April 1927) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

White, from the Hawthorn Rovers originally, was predominantly a defender but could also play as a centreman. Injury caused him to miss Essendon's 1911 premiership but he was on a halfback flank when they claimed back-to-back premierships the following season.

He died of pneumonia on 27 April 1927, aged 36.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article3851270 |title=Family Notices |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=28 April 1927 |page=1}}
