White Side is a Lake District fell of 863.2 m in Cumberland, Westmorland and Furness. Its key col leads to Helvellyn, not to its nearest higher summit, Raise.

Its drop of 43.1 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. The key col is close by, only 0.4 km to the north-east at 820.1 m. The highest point is recorded as windshelter, not a cairn. The database describes the top as a windshelter.
