Derrick Richard White (born July 2, 1994) is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Nicknamed "the Buffalo" or "the Swiss Army Knife" by his Celtics teammate Neemias Queta, he played three years of college basketball in Division II for the Colorado–Colorado Springs Mountain Lions before transferring to Division I's Colorado Buffaloes for his final year.

White was selected 29th overall by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2017 NBA draft. He was traded to the Celtics in February 2022, becoming a key contributor when they reached the 2022 NBA Finals. White became a starter in the 2022–23 season and was selected to his first NBA All-Defensive Team that season and his second the following season. White won his first NBA championship when the Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks in five games during the 2024 NBA Finals. White also won a gold medal as a member of the 2024 U.S. Olympic team.
