Professor Sir James Calvert Spence, M.D., F.R.C.P., (19 March 1892 – 26 May 1954) was a prominent British paediatrician in the early twentieth century.
He established his practice at Newcastle upon Tyne where he developed an interest in social paediatrics, which included interests in providing adequate nutrition to children in poor families and support for breastfeeding.
Douglas Gairdner joined him in 1945 as his first assistant and stayed until 1948 during which time Spence served as a mentor to the younger Gairdner. Spence urged Gairdner to write a review of infant circumcision.
