Walter Woodworth White FRCS (December 14, 1862 – July 10, 1952) was a Canadian physician as well as a municipal and provincial politician in New Brunswick. He served as the Mayor of Saint John between 1902 and 1906, and again from 1926 until 1932. In provincial politics, White served in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick as a member of the Conservative Party, representing Saint John City from 1931 to 1935.
Born in Saint John, White went to Saint John High School and took further education at the University of New Brunswick (UNB), receiving a Bachelor of Arts in 1882. Afterwards, he went to McGill University where he received his M.D.C.M. in 1884. White returned to Saint John and began working as a physician in 1887, serving as a surgeon at a couple of hospitals in the area. He entered municipal politics in 1902, where he was elected as Mayor of Saint John. After some years away from politics, he was re-elected under the same mayoral position in 1926, and succeeded during further re-elections until 1932. He had short involvement with provincial politics, serving one term in the legislature from 1930 until his district was defeated by the Opposition (Liberal) party in 1935.
