A sheepwalk is an area of grassland where sheep can roam freely.

The productivity of sheepwalk is measured by the number of sheep per area. This is dependent, among other things, on the underlying rock.[1]

Sheepwalk is also the name of townlands in County Roscommon, Ireland and County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
