Matthew White (born 16 April 1970) is a long time Australian television executive, sports broadcaster, television presenter and journalist at Network Ten where he returned to in 2014. He is currently Network Ten's Head of Sport and host of the motorsports panel show RPM.

White began his journalism career at a local newspaper in Manly before moving to radio and joining Newcastle's NEWFM to present breakfast news. He moved to television in 1992 when he became weekend sports presenter for NBN News.

After another radio stint at Triple M, White joined Network Ten as a sport reporter. He became weekend host of the network’s flagship sports program Sports Tonight in 1993. During his time at Ten, White covered sports including Supercars, Big Bash League, Formula One, the Spring Racing Carnival and the AFL. He was a commentator for the Supercars in 2002 and 2003.
