William James Whitehouse was a British racing driver from England.
Whitehouse started racing in a Cooper 500 in 1949 in 500 cc Car Club National races. Several wins and top placings followed and through this he became friends with fellow car dealer Bernie Ecclestone. He participated in one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, on 17 July 1954. He retired from the race with fuel system problems, and scored no World Championship points. He also competed in several non-Championship Formula One races.
Whitehouse was the owner of Westmount Garage in Blendon, Bexley, Kent. This Garage was later the base for the Gemini Formula Junior Team.
Whitehouse was killed in a Formula Two crash at the Reims Circuit driving a works car, loaned after his privately entered Cooper [Car Company|Cooper] T39 had engine failure. Later in that race the American Herbert MacKay-Fraser was also killed.
