"Satyr's Head" is a notable sculptural work attributed to the Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564). Although the exact date of creation is uncertain, it is believed to have been sculpted in the early years of Michelangelo's career, possibly during his first period of artistic activity in Florence, when he was studying under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici. The work is a testament to Michelangelo's fascination with classical antiquity and his exceptional skill in rendering human emotion and character through marble.

The sculpture depicts the head of a satyr, a mythological creature often associated with Dionysian revelry and known for its half-human, half-animal features. Michelangelo's rendition of the satyr is characterized by a playful yet mischievous expression, with detailed attention to the textural contrasts between the satyr's hair, beard, and the smoothness of its flesh. The piece showcases the young artist's mastery of anatomy and his ability to infuse his subjects with a sense of vitality and movement, even within the constraints of a single fragment of stone.

"Satyr's Head" is considered an important work in Michelangelo's oeuvre as it reflects his early exploration of themes that would continue to permeate his art, such as the tension between the earthly and the divine, and the dynamic interplay between form and expression. The sculpture remains an object of study for art historians and scholars, offering insights into the development of Michelangelo's artistic philosophy and his lifelong engagement with the classical past.

The current location of "Satyr's Head" is not universally agreed upon, as its provenance has been a subject of debate. However, it is often associated with the collections of the Bargello Museum in Florence or the Casa Buonarroti, also in Florence, which houses many of Michelangelo's early works and personal memorabilia. As with many works of art from this period, the attribution to Michelangelo has been a matter of scholarly discussion, but the "Satyr's Head" is widely accepted as a piece that reflects his burgeoning genius and contributes to the understanding of his formative years as an artist.
