Jumbuck is an Australian term for sheep, featured in Banjo Paterson's poem "Waltzing Matilda." It generally denotes a difficult to shear sheep, either large or untamed.

The word is also an Australian aboriginal word for "cloud"^{[citation needed]}, which is the image the indigenous people had when sheep were first introduced in the country.

It is also the name of a car and mobile chatroom community.
