We derive the delay in travel time of photons due to the spin of a body both inside a rotating shell and outside a rotating body. We then show that this time delay by the spin of an astrophysical object might be detected in different images of the same source by gravitational lensing; it might be relevant in the determination of the Hubble constant using accurate measurements of the time delay between the images of some gravitational lens systems. The measurement of the spin-time-delay might also provide a further observable to estimate the dark matter content in galaxies, clusters, or super-clusters of galaxies.
