Jerome "Jerry" White (born 1959) is an American politician and journalist who is the labor editor reporting for the World Socialist Web Site. He is a member of the Socialist Equality Party of the United States and was a member of its predecessor, the Workers League, joining the movement in 1979. White was the SEP's nominee for president four times, running in 1996, 2008, 2012, and 2016.

In February 2024, SEP National Chairman David North announced White would run in the 2024 election as the party's candidate for vice president of the United States. His running mate on the ticket was Joseph Kishore.

White's political program calls for the expropriation and nationalization of all major banks and corporations, the end to all US wars abroad, a new democratic system of worker control over companies, and the establishment of social rights of the working class.

White's call for social rights includes the right to a livable income, a safe working environment, clean water and air, food, safe and affordable housing, high-quality education, transportation, healthcare, culture, retirement, and full democratic rights.
