Ian White (born 17 August 1970) is an English professional player currently playing in Professional Darts Corporation events.

In 1997, White reached the final of the PDC's revived News of the World Darts Championship. He defeated Peter Manley and Andy Jenkins on the way to the final, where he lost 0-2 to fellow Stoke-on-Trent native Phil Taylor.

White won the Antwerp Open, Denmark Open and the English National Championship in 2009. He qualified for the 2010 BDO World Darts Championship, but lost 0-3 in the first round to Stephen Bunting. Shortly afterwards, he left the BDO and joined the PDC, when fellow Stoke player Adrian Lewis offered to sponsor White and suggested he was capable of being in the world's top eight. A solid first year in the PDC saw him reach the semi-finals of a Pro Tour event in Dublin, gain an automatic Tour Card, and narrowly miss out on the 2011 PDC World Championship by £100.

In February 2011, he reached his first PDC final since 1997. He lost 3-6 to Steve Brown in the final of the 2011 UK Open Qualifier 1.

White finished third in the 2011 Grand Slam of Darts wildcard qualifier, and was awarded a place in the tournament proper after Simon Whitlock withdrew due to injury.
