Spalding is an unincorporated community in the northwest United States, located in northern Nez Perce County, Idaho.
The community is located 10miles east and upstream of Lewiston, on the Clearwater River, at the mouth of the Lapwai Valley. U.S. Route 95 runs through the community and has a junction with U.S. Route 12 just west of town. Spalding is part of the Lewiston, ID-WA Metropolitan Statistical Area. The village was named after Reverend Henry Spalding,[1] a missionary who taught the neighboring Nez Percé irrigation.

This place is notable as the birthplace of Lillian Disney, the wife of Walt Disney.
In the 1966 film El Dorado, John Wayne rode a six-year-old Appaloosa stallion named Zip, from Spalding.[2]
