Saffordia is an extinct genus of bivalve mollusc of the order Modiomorphida.

It lived during the middle to late Ordovician.

Based on other members of it family, this clam was a stationary epifaunal suspension feeder.

[2] Its only species is Saffordia ventralis, which features a prominent escutcheon and is similar to – possibly synonymous with – Heikea.

[1] The clam can be distinguished from others due to its parallel shell haves with noticeable notches at the end.
