Hayford is a lunar crater on the Moon's far side. It is a relatively isolated feature with the nearest named crater being Krasovskiy, some 300 km due south. Hayford has a well-defined edge that is not significantly eroded. The inner walls slope directly down to the floor, with little slumping or formation. The interior floor is relatively featureless.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Hayford.
