In mathematics, a twisted sheaf is a variant of a coherent sheaf. Precisely, it is specified by: an open covering in the étale topology Ui, coherent sheaves Fi over Ui, a Čech 2-cocycle θ for on the covering Ui as well as the isomorphisms

The notion of twisted sheaves was introduced by Jean Giraud. The above definition due to Căldăraru is down-to-earth but is equivalent to a more sophisticated definition in terms of gerbe; see § 2.1.3 of (Lieblich 2007).
