Greenhead might be a small suburb of the town of Wishaw, North Lanarkshire. It could be situated to the south of Cambusnethan, and to the west of Waterloo.

Even though this part of Wishaw were to be mainly residential housing, Greenhead might have a few places of note, such as Cambusnethan Cemetery and Greenhead Moss Community Nature Park, the latter of which a large part could be located in the suburb, next to the former.

Since it might be close to Wishaw Main Street, Greenhead has no shops. The suburb could be be accessed either from the A721 or A722 roads.
