[Henry] Hunter White (4 October 1867 – 11 March 1947) was an Australian pastoralist, racehorse owner and breeder. He was a noted philanthropist who supported post-war repatriation with substantial gifts of land and the Church of England in New South Wales. He was born into a socially prominent rural family who had arrived in Sydney in 1826 and owned the Merino sheep and North Devon cattle property Havilah.
White was born at Woodlands, near Denman, New South Wales. He was the son of Henry Charles White and his first wife, Isabella Mary Ann (née Lowe). Woodlands, an historic stud and homestead, had been bought by White's grandfather, James White circa 1860 and passed in to his father's hands in 1868. His family moved from Woodlands to Havilah in 1879. White commenced at Newington College in 1883 during the presidency of the Rev Joseph Horner Fletcher and the last year of the headmastership of Joseph Coates.
On 19 May 1897, White married Leila Ethel Arguimbau. Known as Lily, the bride was the daughter of Narcissus George Arguimbau, a Knight of the Legion of Honour. Her brothers were all Old Newingtonians as was the groom. The wedding ceremony was at St Aidan's Church of England in Annandale and a reception was held in the Arguimbau family home, Cliveden, on neighbouring Johnston Street. The couple had three children: Constance White (1898–1978 ); Peter White (1901–1970); and Henry Charles Hunter White (1905–1988).
