Robb White III (20 June 1909 – 24 November 1990) was an American writer of screenplays, television scripts, and adventure novels. Most of his literary work had a maritime setting, often featuring the Pacific Navy during World War II. White was best known for his juvenile fiction, which also gained popularity among adults. Despite most of his books being out of print, he maintains a devoted following among baby boomers, many of whom discovered his works through affordable paperbacks available in American schools during the mid-20th century.

Robb White collaborated with the renowned gimmick horror film king, William Castle, during Castle's most notable and productive era. Born in the Philippines, White was a preacher's son who ventured into various jobs before joining the Navy during World War II. He initially worked with Castle on the short-lived TV series "Men of Annapolis" (1957) and later joined forces in producing horror thrillers such as "Macabre" (1958), "House on Haunted Hill" (1959), "The Tingler" (1959), "Homicidal" (1961), and "13 Ghosts" (1960). Eventually, he returned to TV writing, including work on "Perry Mason" (1957), alongside his novels.
