在广义相对论中，白洞（英语：White hole）是一种理论推测出来的特殊时空区域，物质与光线无法进入这个区域中，但是可以从这个区域中向外出现。白洞的性质与黑洞相反，光与物质可以进入黑洞中，但是无法从黑洞中离开。这个理论最早由伊戈尔·诺维科夫（Igor Dmitriyevich Novikov ）在1964年根据对史瓦西解的计算，而提出这个假设。目前已经有许多证据显示黑洞存在，到现在还没有任何证据表明白洞存在，因此白洞仍然只是一种由理论推导而出的假想星体。白洞的存在也违反了热力学定理，因为热力学认为熵不是保持不变就是增加，但白洞会使熵减少。

In general relativity, a white hole is a hypothetical region of spacetime which cannot be entered from the outside, although matter and light can escape from it. In this sense, it is the reverse of a black hole, which can only be entered from the outside and from which matter and light cannot escape. White holes appear in the theory of eternal black holes. In addition to a black hole region in the future, such a solution of the Einstein field equations has a white hole region in its past. However, this region does not exist for black holes that have formed through gravitational collapse, nor are there any known physical processes through which a white hole could be formed. No white hole has ever been observed. Also, the laws of thermodynamics say that the net entropy in the universe can either increase or remain constant. This rule is violated by white holes, as they tend to decrease entropy.
