The scoophead (Sphyrna media) is a little-known species of hammerhead shark, part of the family Sphyrnidae.
It is distinguished by its moderately broad, mallet-shaped head (22–33% as wide as the body is long).
The forward margin of the head is arched, with weak medial and lateral indentations and no prenarial grooves, traits that this species shares with the scalloped bonnethead (Sphyrna corona).
It is distinguished from the scalloped bonnethead by its shorter snout, broadly arched mouth, and deeply concave anal fin.
These species avoid competition by diet and habitat differences; the scoophead feeds on small elasmobranchs, octopus, squid, and flounders.
