Jason White (born January 28, 1984 in Mansfield) is an English football goalkeeper, who currently plays for Mansfield Town. White, who grew up in nearby Sutton-in-Ashfield, came through the ranks at Mansfield, and looks to have finally become first-choice goalkeeper at the club, following the release of veteran Kevin Pressman at the end of the 2005-06 season.

White made his debut for the Stags in October 2002, against Cheltenham, when he came off the bench to replace the injured Kevin Pilkington. Since then he has only played a handful of matches, as he has usually been understudy to Pilkington and later Pressman. However, he did get his chance towards the end of 2005-06, and was subsequently offered a new contract. Manager Peter Shirtliff has indicated that White could become the club's starting goalkeeper next season.

White also came first in a curling chalange on ITV's soocernight and was the only goalkeeper to atempt the challenge, he then in the 2006/2007 season won a trading places match 20 - 12 where he had to take penalys and save penaltys against an outfield player.
