Sceicco (in arabo: شيخ‎, shaykh) è un termine derivato dall'arabo che letteralmente significa "vecchio" o "anziano", ma che in realtà indica una qualsiasi persona autorevole, a prescindere dall'età. Lo si trova scritto anche cheikh (uso francese) o sheikh (uso inglese). La forma femminile è sceicca (sheikha, shaykha, o šaikha).
