Rhabdosargus globiceps, the white stumpnose or go-home fish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sparidae, which includes the seabreams and porgies. This fish is endemic to the waters off Southern Africa.

Taxonomy Rhabdosargus globiceps was first formally described in 1830 as Chrysophrys globiceps by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes with its type locality given as the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. The genus Rhabdosargus is placed in the family Sparidae within the order Spariformes by the 5th edition of Fishes of the World. Some authorities classify this genus in the subfamily Sparinae, but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sparidae.

Rhabdosargus globiceps has the generic name Rhabdosargus which is a combination of rhabdos, meaning "stick" or "rod", an allusion to the yellow abdominal band of Sargus auriventris, the type species of the genus. The second part is Sargos, a name used for Sparid fish in ancient Greek at least as long ago as Aristotle but in this case is a reference to Sargus as a synonym of Diplodus. The specific name, globiceps, combines globus, meaning "sphere", and ceps, meaning "head", an allusion to the protuberance between the yes of this species.

Description Rhabdosargus globiceps has 11 spines and between 11 and 13 spines supporting the dorsal fin while the anal fin is supported by 3 spines and 10 or 11 soft rays. The body is compressed and moderately deep, its depth fitting into its standard length between 2.2 and 2.4 times.
