In time added on at the Pirelli Stadium due to Chesterfield defender Liam O'Neil leaving the field on a stretcher with a neck injury, Butcher slotted in his fourth goal of the season.
It would prove to be a decisive strike as Chesterfield goalkeeper Tommy Lee prevented Stuart Beavon from adding to the hosts' advantage.
Defeat means Chesterfield remain a point above fourth-bottom Fleetwood Town, having played two games more.
