Sheepshead is a term that can refer to several things:

1. Fish: In aquatic terms, sheepshead is a common name for several species of fish, particularly the Archosargus probatocephalus, native to the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. They are known for their strong teeth similar to a sheeps.

2. Game: Sheepshead is also a trick-taking card game, popular in areas of the United States such as Wisconsin and parts of the Midwest. The game is also known as Schafkopf in Germany.

3. Species of Porgy: Sheepshead could also refer to California Sheepshead (Semicossyphus pulcher), a species of wrasse, one of the biggest type of fish native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.

4. Bay/Bridge/Island: It also could refer to geographical locations like Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, New York or Sheepshead Island in Nova Scotia, Canada, Sheepshead Bay Road, and Sheepshead Bay Bridge.

The exact definition depends on the context.
