White Hall is a residential dormitory for students at the University of Wyoming. Located in Laramie, Wyoming, it is the tallest building in the state of Wyoming.

Named for Laura Amanda White, White Hall is 200 ft tall and contains twelve stories. It is used for undergraduate housing, primarily freshmen.

The building's namesake, Laura Amada White (1882-1948), was a historian, particularly of the American Civil War era. She became an instructor at the University of Wyoming in 1913, and later became head of department. She was the first University of Wyoming faculty member elected to the American Historical Association council, in 1944.
