Shetou is a rural township in Changhua County, Taiwan. It is located in the central-western part of the island, within Changhua County on the western coastal plain.
As a rural township, Shetou is one of the smaller administrative divisions of Changhua County, which lies south of Taichung and north of Yunlin County along Taiwan's western corridor. The area is part of Taiwan's broader western plain, a region historically associated with agriculture.
Shetou is not among Taiwan's major urban centres; it is administered as a township rather than a city, reflecting its rural character within the county structure.
