Yes. The Orca (Killer Whale) is the only known predators that may attack or kill a Great White. In regions where both the Orca and the Great whites inhabit and compete for food, Orcas may attack and kill these sharks. Since Orca's are much larger than them, they can attack and even kill great whites.

Additionally

Also, Killer Whales may attack as a group like a pack of wolves while Great White Sharks tends to swim solitary so a single shark would be at a disadvantage against such as group, which is smarter and able to communicate with one another to coordinate an attack.

Yes, orcas can kill great white sharks because they are top super predators known as killer whales or orca dolphins (killer dolphins). Killer whales are also known as orcas or orca whales and they can kill everything that lives in the ocean and especially most powerful sharks can even get killed by orcas.

Yes, Killer Whales actively hunt and kill Great Whites. They do this for a variety of reasons, primarily being the competition for prey as they have similar diets. Killer Whales also view Great Whites as a threat to their calves. When the two species meet in battle it is no contest. Orca's are faster swimmers for one reaching speeds of 30 miles an hour. Orca's also hunt in packs while Great Whites are lone hunters this leading to a five on one scenario. Even one on one however the Killer Whale has one superior advantage and that is sonar. A Killer Whale can located a Great White from over a mile away and swim at full speed blind siding the unsuspecting shark almost cutting him in half from the blow alone. The Killer Whale is the far superior predator and the consummate winner in head to head combat.

A white shark would have to be nearing starvation to attack an adult killer whale, although an unguarded calf would be prey. But orcas guard their young well, so an attack may end badly for the shark. Orcas are larger on average than white sharks, and more intelligent. There exists a video of a killer whale killing a great white.
