A white pages is a telephone directory listing of subscriber names, addresses, and telephone numbers. The term "white pages" is commonly associated with the residential subscriber listings in the standard directories.

White pages can also be an electronic information database, or directory, that contains user names and their associated network addresses, in the manner of a telephone directory. Electronic white pages usually contain additional information, such as office location, phone number, and mailstop, and their contents are governed by a schema.

"WhitePages.com" based in Seattle, Washington, was not bought by a large phone company (as it was the case of the domain yellowpages.com) but developed by Internet pioneer Alex Algard who was the first one to register it for a few hundred dollars on April 7, 1996. His wife registered "WhitePages.ca", which is a Canadian version of WhitePages and which also exists in the French language. Later WhitePages.com and WhitePages.ca were incorporated into WhitePages.com.
