Webster's Falls is a 22-metre-high (72 ft) classical curtain and plunge waterfall located in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The water flows down Spencer Creek. In the past, the falls have been known by various names such as Dr. Hamilton's Falls, Spencer Falls, Hart Falls, Fisher Falls and Flamborough Falls.[1]

The cobblestone footbridge, as well as a newer and narrower stone and concrete footbridge, crosses over Spencer Creek to the west side.[2]
