白大衣高血壓（White coat hypertension，又譯白衣高血壓、白大褂高血壓、白袍高血壓、診室高血壓或邊緣性高血壓），或稱白袍效應(white coat effect)，指平時在家血壓正常，但是在醫院到診間讓醫護人員測量血壓，見到穿著白袍的醫生時，血壓會高於140/90mmHg的現象。
白大褂高血壓被認為是介於正常和高血壓病 之間的一個狀態。可能是因為壓力緊張所致，有些人因為條件反射或其他原因，一見到穿白袍的醫生就心裡緊張，全身交感神經反應，血管收縮，導致血壓上升。在 其他地方，甚至換個護士測血壓，就沒有那麼緊張，血壓就偏低。有人統計，進診室前後，血壓平均可差27/14mmHg。也因此確診為高血壓病時要慎重，至 少門診不同時間3次測壓均高才能算，或者讓醫師評估你平時居家血壓測量的紀錄值，有人甚至提出要求不同時日3次測壓均高，才能確診是否有高血壓。
白袍高血壓如果作24小時血壓監測則可正常，但在動態監測血壓過程中就出現差異。
