Doug White of Manchester, Ohio, is an American politician of the Republican party who served as president of the Ohio Senate for two years, from 2003 to 2005.

After the 2002 elections, the Republicans of the Ohio Senate selected White to succeed Dick Finan as leader of the party. By 2004, however, White had already served two terms in the Senate and Ohio's term limits law prevented him from running again.

Thus, in the 2004 election, the Republican party selected Tom Niehaus to run for White's seat and Bill Harris was chosen to be the next Senate president.

After his service in the Senate, White is currently serving as the state Director of Commerce.
