Charles Frederick White (23 January 1891 – 27 November 1956) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for the Western Division of Derbyshire firstly from 1944-1945 as an Independent Labour candidate and subsequently from 1945 to 1950 as the official Labour Party candidate. He was the son of Charles Frederick White, who had represented the same constituency for the Liberal Party from 1918 to 1923.
White was born in Bonsall in Derbyshire in 1891, the only son of Charles Frederick White and Alice Charlesworth, and had five sisters. In 1915 he married Alice Moore.
His father has been politically active on behalf of the Liberals and had successfully broken the dynastic Conservative stranglehold on the Western Division of Derbyshire parliamentary seat by the Cavendish family from 1918 to his death in 1923 when the constituency returned to the Conservative fold.
White worked as a registration agent for his father during his unsuccessful campaign as a Liberal candidate for West Derbyshire in the 1910 General Election.
At the onset of the First World War, he joined the 6th Notts and Derbyshire Battalion of the Territorial Force, a reserve formation of the British Army, in October 1914, gaining promotion to Corporal in November of the same year, and to Sergeant in March 1915, serving in the UK until his discharge from active service in 1917.
