Henry Francis Spunner was an Irish international rugby union player.

Born in County Tipperary, Spunner was a foundation player for Wanderers, a club in Dublin. He gained three Ireland caps, playing as a halfback against England and Scotland in 1881, then as a centre three-quarter against Wales in 1884.[1]

Spunner left Dublin in the late 1880s and became a land agent in Cork.[2]
