Spencer Charters (March 25, 1875 – January 25, 1943) was an American film actor. He appeared in more than 220 films between 1920 and 1943, mostly in small supporting roles.

Spencer Charters first stage work soon after leaving school was a walk on part but it wasn't long before he was being given fair-sized roles. He played on the Broadway between 1910 and 1929 and was a busy character actor in films during the 1930s and early 1940s. He often portrayed somewhat befuddeled judges, doctors, clerks, managers and jailers. He died by suicide, from a mix of sleeping pills and carbon monoxide poisoning.
