Spencer Phips (1685 – April, 1757) took office twice as acting Governor of Massachusetts in the absence of William Shirley. The first time was in 1749 when Shirley took several years leave to participate in boundary negotiations with France. Later, in 1756, he took over again when Shirley returned to England to defend himself against charges of treason and incompetence.

Phips, the nephew of former governor and treasure hunter Sir William Phips, was predominantly occupied with creating a peace treaty with native tribes near Falmouth. His efforts were disrupted by continued violence by English settlers, which never allowed sufficient peace to conclude his negotiations. He died in office.
