James Spencer (born April 11, 1985 in Stockport, Cheshire) is an English football player. He plays as a goalkeeper for Rochdale and joined the club from Stockport County in 2007, where he came through the club's Centre of Excellence youth system. He made his debut in a 2-1 victory over Watford in 2002, aged just 16.

Since he made his debut, Spencer played regularly for the Stockport 1st team where his agility and quick reflexes have allow him to make some very impressive saves. Spencer was linked with moves to Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion. However, Spencer lacked first-team opportunities during the 2006-07 season and in the summer of 2007 he signed a 2-year contract with Rochdale.^[1] He was once schoolboy errored by albino darts player and all round card Chris Bannister at a Stockport County reserve match in 2002.
