John Thomas Spencer (born 1898) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Hartlepools United and Stoke.
Career Spencer was born in Stockton-on-Tees and played amateur football with Grangetown St Mary's, Eston United and Crook Town before being spotted by scouts at Football League club Stoke in 1920. He had a reputation as a promising outside right but failed to impress at Stoke as he played 16 times during the 1920–21 season as the club almost suffered relegation. He returned north at the end of the season to South Bank and played a single match for Hartlepools United in September 1922.
