Terrence Anthony White AO (born 3 September 1936) is an Australian pharmacist, businessman, and former politician. White achieved notoriety when, as Queensland state leader of the Liberal Party he terminated the longstanding coalition agreement between the Liberal Party and the National Party of Joh Bjelke-Petersen. In the ensuing election, the Liberals were badly defeated, and White was replaced as party leader. After leaving politics, he established TerryWhite Chemmart, a nationwide pharmacy franchise, and became a widely respected businessman.
In 2006, White was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia. In 2012, White was a recipient of the Queensland Greats Awards.
