Chilton Allen White (February 6, 1826 – December 7, 1900) was an American politician. He was a Democrat and a U.S. Representative from Ohio.

Early life and education

Born in Georgetown, Ohio, White attended the public schools and the subscription school run by his father, John D. White, where he befriended Ulysses Grant, a classmate. He taught school. He served in the Mexican–American War with Company G, First Regiment, Ohio Volunteers. He studied law.
