Harry Norman Ernest Spencer (1 October 1901 - 13 August 1954) was an English cricketer who played four first-class matches between 1923 and 1932, one for Worcestershire and three for Warwickshire.
Born in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, Spencer made his first (and only) appearance for Worcestershire against the touring New Zealanders in June 1927. He picked up two wickets, dismissing the New Zealand captain Tom Lowry in each innings, but proved expensive: his ten overs cost him 68 runs. With the bat, Spencer made 26 and 2.
It was nearly three years before Spencer played first-class cricket again, and when it happened it was for Warwickshire. He played three matches for the county, but only managed one wicket in total, when he bowled his former team-mate and Worcestershire opener Leslie Wright in the first innings of his first match for Warwickshire. In two subsequent games for the county, he bowled 31 overs without taking a wicket, although he was generally tidy: in his short Warwickshire career he conceded only 146 runs from 66 overs.
In 1954 Spencer was struck by a bus while crossing Oxford Street, London. As a result of this he died in Hammersmith at the age of 52.
