Sean Spencer (born June 25, 1987) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Spencer started his professional career in 2009. Until 2011, he fought mainly for such Texas-based promotions as King of Kombat and Supreme Warrior Championship. With a record of seven wins and one loss, he signed with Bellator.

Spencer faced Joseph Daily on March 23, 2012 at Bellator 62 and won via submission due to a rear-naked choke in the second round.

Spencer was expected to face Hayward Charles on August 17, 2012 at Legacy FC 13. However, due to undisclosed reasons, Spencer was rescheduled to face Evan Cutts in the same event. He defeated Cutts via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).

Spencer was scheduled to face Roy Spoon on April 12, 2013 at Legacy FC 19 but it was announced in January 2013 that he had in fact signed with the UFC to replace an injured Magnus Cedenblad against Rafael Natal.

Spencer made his promotional debut on short notice against Rafael Natal on January 26, 2013 at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Dodson. He was defeated via submission due to arm-triangle choke in the third round.

In his second fight in the promotion, Spencer moved down to the welterweight division and faced Yuri Villefort on September 4, 2013 at UFC Fight Night 28. He won the fight via split decision (30-27 Spencer, 29-28 Villefort, 29-28 Spencer).

Spencer was called to replace an injured Zak Cummings against Sérgio Moraes on November 30, 2013 at The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale. However, Moraes also got injured and Spencer instead faced promotional newcomer Drew Dober. He won the fight via unanimous decision.
