Orson Ferguson Whitney (1855–1931) (commonly
known as Orson F. Whitney) was a member of the
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from April 9,
1906 until his death, May 16, 1931.

In 1905, two members of the quorum resigned due to
a dispuation with church doctrine and policy. John
Whittaker Taylor|John W. Taylor disagreed with the
manifesto forbidding plural marriage; Matthias F.
Cowley felt that it should apply only to the
United States. In February of the next year, Elder
Marriner W. Merrill passed away, leaving three
vacancies in the quorum.

Orson F. Whitney was called on April 8, 1906, and
set apart the following day, along with George F.
Richards and David O. McKay at General Conference.
