Pamela Ann Spencer (born October 8, 1957) is a retired high jumper from the United States, who set her personal best on 1981-08-28, jumping 1.97 metres at a meet in Brussels, Belgium. She competed for her native country at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California, finishing in eleventh place (1.85 metres).

Spencer is a two-time national champion (1981 and 1984), and was also a member of the 1976 and of the 1980 Olympic Teams which was unable to compete due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott. She did receive one of 461 Congressional Gold Medals created especially for the spurned athletes. In 1981, she raised the American record twice, up to her personal best of 1.97 m.

Pam married Eric Marquez in 1982 and they have two children. They currently reside in Northridge, Ca.
