William Spence (or Spencer) Hemming (17 August 1826 – 8 December 1897) was an English clergyman and a first-class cricketer who played for Cambridge University in 1848.
Hemming played three matches subsequently judged to be first-class for Cambridge University in May 1848, appearing as a tail-end batsman to little effect but enjoying great success as a bowler: he took 21 wickets in his three games, including two returns of six wickets in an innings.
[1] Full statistics are not available for these games and neither his batting nor his bowling style is known.
Hemming was educated at Kensington in London and at Christ's College, Cambridge.
