Gloria Schaffer (born October 3, 1930) was elected to the Connecticut State Senate from Connecticut's 14th Senate District (representing her home town of Woodbridge, Connecticut and several other municipalities) in 1958, serving six terms (1959-1971). She was elected Connecticut's Secretary of State in 1970, serving from 1971 to 1978. In 1976 she was also a candidate for U.S. Senator in Connecticut but lost to Republican incumbent Lowell Weicker.

In 1985, she was appointed a member of the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission by Gov. William A.

As of 2018, she was serving as a Fellow of Branford College of Yale University.
