White Snake is the first solo album by David Coverdale, released in May 1977. Coverdale would use the album title as the name of his future band, first known as "David Coverdale's Whitesnake" and soon afterwards shortened to Whitesnake. The album was released as a part of a compilation album Whitesnake/Northwinds in 1988, was reissued alone in 2000, and released again as part of a double compilation album now titled as The Early Days (2003).

A reissue is set to be released as Into the Light: The Solo Albums as a Whitesnake complication, including Coverdale's solo works via Rhino Entertainment on 25 October 2024.
