Robert Meadows White (1798–1865) was an English cleric and academic, holding the office of Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University from 1834.
In 1839, at the end of his term of office, White was presented to the vicarage of Woolley, West Yorkshire, near Wakefield, by Godfrey Wentworth of that parish, to whose son William he had acted as tutor.
After Wentworth's death he left Woolley, and went to Charles Anderson-Pelham, 2nd Earl of Yarborough at Brocklesby Hall in Lincolnshire, where he acted as tutor to the baron's grandsons.
Mrs. North, Lord Yarborough's sister, and on 29 October 1846 he was presented by Magdalen College to the rectory of Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, which he retained until his death.
White had contemplated the publication of a Saxon and English vocabulary, and only abandoned the project because it appeared likely to clash with the Anglo-Saxon Dictionary then being prepared by Joseph Bosworth.
