Lydia Rogers White (baptised 1760 – January 1827) was a literary hostess in London known for her independence, her wit, her travel and reading.

Lydia had devoted two years to caring for her father whilst her wit was missed at the fashionable Bath Pump Room.

[3] White met the poet Lord Byron as his admirer Lady Caroline Lamb as they used her salon as a place to meet each other.

[5] Walter Scott said of White that she was "what Oxonians call a lioness of the first order, with stockings nineteen times nine dyed blue, very lively, very good-humoured, and extremely absurd".

[1] She was a society hostess at her house in Grovesnor Square where she competed with the other leading salons run by Baroness Holland, the Countess of Cork and Lady Davy for guests.

She was said to have "set her cap" at both Jean Charles Léonard de Sismondi and the historian William Gell, but neither of these plans were successful.
