Damon White (born 16 August 1983) is a former Australian Rules footballer, who played for the Port Adelaide Power in the AFL.

White was selected by the Power in the 2001 draft, being the 62nd overall pick.

White was delisted by the Power at the end of the 2008 season, and chose to not nominate for the AFL Draft, instead signing a four-year contract with North Adelaide in the SANFL.

White returned to his native Western Australia at the end of the 2010 SANFL season and was signed by his original WAFL club, the Perth Football Club. White played one game for Perth, however the impact of injuries throughout his career forced his retirement from all football commitments in June 2011.

In 2016, he was the playing coach of the Exmouth Eagles in the Gascoyne Football Association (in Western Australia's Mid-West region), guiding his side to a top of the ladder finish and a premiership from full-forward, winning the association goal kicking and Best on Ground in the Grand Final.

The Australian Football League stages the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in the country. However, since the late 1980s, when the former Victorian Football League expanded interstate to become the modern Australian Football League, there has not been a league-wide reserves competition; and, since 2000, there has been no dedicated reserves competition of any kind. As a result, AFL-listed players who are not selected in their senior teams are made eligible to play in one of the second-tier state leagues: the Victorian Football League, South Australian National Football League and West Australian Football League. The system used to accommodate AFL-listed players within these leagues varies considerably from state to state.
