John Chanler White (May 21, 1867 – February 11, 1956) was the fourth bishop of the Diocese of Springfield in The Episcopal Church from 1924 to 1947, having previously served as archdeacon and missionary.
He studied at St Stephen's College, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1888, and being honored with a Doctor of Divinity years later.
He then became chaplain and private Secretary to Bishop of Springfield, whilst serving as priest-in-charge of Christ Church in Waverly, Illinois between 1893 and 1897.
In 1909, he became the General Missionary in East St. Louis until 1916, when he became rector of Trinity Church in Lincoln, Illinois, and subsequently Archdeacon of Springfield.
He worked to create a self-autonomous diocese with no need of reliance on the nation Church for financial aid, and worked to establish and prolong the missionary spirit of the diocese.
