Timothy Joseph Spehr (born July 2, 1966) is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the Kansas City Royals (1991, 1997 and 1998–99), Montreal Expos (1993–96), Atlanta Braves and New York Mets (1998).
Spehr played college baseball for the Arizona State Sun Devils baseball team. He was not known for his offense, but he did have some power.

Only once did he hit above .250, when he had nine hits in 35 at-bats for the Expos in 1994.
Spehr's best season was his last, where he set career highs in many offensive categories.
