Richard White, 2nd Earl of Bantry DL (16 November 1800 – 16 July 1868), styled The Honourable from birth until 1816 and subsequently Viscount Berehaven until 1851, was an Irish peer and Conservative politician.

Born at St Finbarr (??not a place name ??) he was the eldest son of Richard White, 1st Earl of Bantry and his wife Margaret Ann, daughter of William Hare, 1st Earl of Listowel.[1] White was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. In 1851 he succeeded his father as earl, and three years later he was elected a representative peer to the House of Lords, where he sat as a Conservative. White was High Sheriff of County Cork in 1835 and served as a Deputy Lieutenant of the same county.[2]

On 11 October 1836, he married Mary, third daughter of William O'Brien, 2nd Marquess of Thomond at St George's, Hanover Square.[3] White died, aged 67, childless at Exmoor House and was succeeded in his titles by his younger brother William.
