Siphonotretida is an extinct order of linguliform brachiopods in the class Lingulata. The order is equivalent to the sole superfamily Siphonotretoidea, itself containing the sole family Siphonotretidae. They were most abundant in the Late Cambrian and Early Ordovician (Furongian to Floian), and were traditionally considered to have gone extinct in the Upper Ordovician (Ashgill). However, they may have been present as early as Cambrian Stage 4, and as late as the Silurian (Ludlow). Siphonotretoids were originally placed as a superfamily of Acrotretida, before being raised to their own order.

| - Siphonotretida is an extinct order of linguliform brachiopods in the class Lingulata. The order is equivalent to the sole superfamily Siphonotretoidea, itself containing the sole family Siphonotretidae. They were most abundant in the Late Cambrian and Early Ordovician (Furongian to Floian), and were traditionally considered to have gone extinct in the Upper Ordovician (Ashgill). However, they may have been present as early as Cambrian Stage 4, and as late as the Silurian (Ludlow). Siphonotretoids were originally placed as a superfamily of Acrotretida, before being raised to their own order. Siphonotretids had simple, rounded shells with an ornamentation of hollow spines. The shell is usually ventribiconvex (both valves convex, the ventral valve moreso) and composed of microscopic granules of apatite. The inner surface of the shell tends to be weakly mineralized, so many aspects of the musculature and other soft anatomy are difficult to estimate in most species. Available data supports comparison to the internal structures of lingulids. Siphonotretids may be related to the linguloid families Lingulellotretidae or . Similar to acrotretides, the pedicle foramen was set at the apex of the ventral valve, though it is often elongated into a tubular groove opening forwards. This groove lies on a triangular extension of the ventral valve, known as a pseudointerarea, which overhangs the dorsal valve. Unlike acrotretides, the adult shell is spinose while the larval shell lacks a pitted texture. The possible siphonotretid Acanthotretella is known from several exceptionally-preserved specimens which reveal lingulid-like traits such as setae, a spirolophous lophophore and U-shaped gut. However, the shell was poorly mineralized and sends out a very long, stalk-like pedicle, which in one specimen was attached to a fragment of algae. Combined with a lightweight shell, the pedicle likely helped to suspend the body above the seabed, an epibenthic lifestyle dissimilar to the infaunal (burrowing) lingulids. (en)
