A Splayd (plural 'Splayds') is a brand of sporf, an eating utensil combining the functions of spoon, fork, and knife. It was created by William McArthur in the 1940s in Sydney, Australia.

In addition to an overall spoon shape with four fork tines, it has two hard, flat edges on either side, suitable for cutting through soft food.

The UK licensee for the manufacturing and distribution of "Splayds" during the 1970s was Viners of Sheffield. At that time they were one of the biggest cutlery manufacturers in Great Britain.

The Splayd is distributed worldwide exclusively by Cambur Industries Pty Ltd (Australia).
