Jim Spence is a Scottish Sports broadcaster from Dundee who works for BBC Scotland.

Spence presented the nightly football magazine 90 Minutes on BBC Radio Scotland from 2004 until it was axed in 2006 to make way for more comprehensive sports coverage. Spence now hosts the station's weeknight programme Sportsound twice a week.

Spence is a fan of Dundee United F.C.. He became an Internet hit in 2009 after a faltering interview with Slovakian goalkeeper Dušan Perniš.[1] Despite Perniš apologising for his poor English, Spence continues the interview with limited success.[1] He is forced to rephrase each question several times, but just receives baffled looks from the goalkeeper.[1]

In 2015 it was announced that Spence had joined the Dundee-based newspaper The Courier as columnist.[2] As of 2016 he is a sports columnist for the newspaper.[3]

Spence has also been impersonated by Jonathan Watson on the BBC Scotland comedy show Only an Excuse? during his time fronting 90 Minutes.

He studied Law at the University of Dundee as a mature student. In February 2019 it was announced he had been chosen as the new Rector of the University of Dundee, in succession to Mark Beaumont.[4]

On 5 May he joined Dundee United as Club consultant.
