Howard Spencer (23 August 1875 – 14 January 1940) was an English professional footballer.
Often referred to as the "prince of full-backs" due to his sportsmanship, Spencer joined Aston Villa in 1892 having played for several clubs at amateur level.
He made his professional debut in October 1894 at the age of 18 and would go on to become a first-team regular for the club.
