James Jim White (born c. 1920) is a former American basketball player who is best known for winning the Haggerty Award while in college. He played for St. John’s for three seasons (between 1939–40 and 1941–42) and was a proficient scorer in an era when games were much lower scoring than they are today. During his sophomore year in 1939–40 White averaged 8.7 points per game in leading the Redmen to a 15–5 overall record and a berth in the 1940 National Invitation Tournament.
