Brian Arthur Robert White (5 May 1957 – 5 July 2016) was a British Labour Party politician. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for North East Milton Keynes from the 1997 general election, but lost his seat in 2005.

He was returned at the 2001 election with a slightly increased majority of 1,829, but at the 2005 election he lost his seat to the Conservative candidate Mark Lancaster whose 1,665 majority represented a 3.6% swing.[4]

Before his election to Parliament in 1997, White had been a Labour member of Buckinghamshire County Council, Deputy Leader of Milton Keynes Council, and Secretary of the Local Government Association Labour Group. He had joined the local council in 1987, but resigned to take his seat in Parliament.

In the local elections of May 2007, he was elected to Milton Keynes Council as a member for Stantonbury.[5] He was re-elected in May 2011 and May 2014. He served as Mayor of Milton Keynes for a year from May 2013.
