Sheila Carter is a fictional character from the American CBS soap operas The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. Created by William J. Bell, the role was portrayed by Kimberlin Brown for many intervals on both soaps until 2006, when the character had plastic surgery to look like Phyllis Summers, and was portrayed by Michelle Stafford.

Sheila is known as a villain. A significant portion of Sheila's history on both soaps revolves around her long-running conflict with Lauren Fenmore, whom she had attempted to kill on multiple occasions. She also had conflicts with Stephanie Forrester, Maggie Forrester, Amber Moore, Phyllis Summers, Taylor Hayes, and Brooke Logan.

The role was portrayed by Kimberlin Brown for a total of 16 years. Her first run was on The Young and the Restless from 1990 to 1992, when the character crossed over to The Bold and the Beautiful from 1992 to 1998, again from May to November 2002, and again finally from September 26 to October 10, 2003. Despite being a regular cast member on The Bold and the Beautiful, Brown returned to The Young and the Restless for several guest appearances in 1993, 1994 and 1995.

In July 2005, after a 10-year absence from The Young and the Restless, it was announced that Brown was to reprise the role. At the time, Brown had been appearing on ABC's One Life to Live as Paige Miller, and Brown reportedly opted to leave the role when ABC was unable to match the financial terms of a contract offered to her by CBS. She returned on August 5, 2005, and her run ended on January 11, 2006. However, that December, the character returned, though not portrayed by Brown, but by Michelle Stafford, who in addition portrays Phyllis Summers. For the reason of Brown not returning to the role, the actress said: "I had a bad accident last year, and when they wanted me back in November I really couldn't go at that time and that's why I came back looking like somebody else." Stafford only portrayed the role for two months until February 9, 2007, when the character was shot to death by her longtime enemy Lauren Fenmore.
