Out of all the sea creatures, perhaps none sets in man a Primal Fear quite like a shark does. But what if you want something scarier than a shark? How could we possibly make so fearsome a beast even scarier? Why, by giving him legs, arms, and a human brain! Thus we have the Shark Man. It may be a Half-Human Hybrid. It may be a natural mutation of a shark, a human Super-Soldier with shark-like enhancements, or even a wereshark. All that matters is it packs the bestial parts of a shark with the form of a human. Could probably apply with any large sea predator.
A Sub-Trope of Threatening Shark and Fish People.

El Piranha of the Heartland Wrestling Association was upgraded to Shark Boy in WCW. He was so unexpectedly popular we got a Shark Girl on the independent circuit (Chikara, SHIMMER, etc) with the two being part of a whole shark person family in TNA, then a Shark Solo, then another Shark Boy in CMLL.

The Oblongs offers a variation as a quick gag right before an episode ends. After realizing the prosthetic bodysuit he's been given is ruining his marriage and turning him into a jerk, he sets the thing to automatic and lets it walk into the ocean. After he and his family leave a shark bursts out of the water wearing it, attacks a beachgoer, and then rushes the camera as it fades to black.

The Zoras were designed in this manner in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, in contrast with previous versions that were based more on bony fish. It's most noticeable with their head protrusions, which resemble a whole shark (though Muzu's head more closely resembles a manta ray, another cartilaginous fish), but it also comes across with attributes such as more carnivorous-looking teeth and shark-like fins. Prince Sidon has the most sharklike features with his head protrusions being shaped after a hammerhead shark and his teeth sharper and more sharklike than any other Zora.

The main monster from the 1998 TV-movie version of Peter Benchley's Creature is such a... well, creature. The novel version also possesses some very shark-like qualities but is really just a scientifically modified human with steel claws and teeth, while the movie version is a genetically engineered shark with human DNA.

Kisame Hoshigaki from the original manga, a member of the terrorist/mercenary group Akatsuki and one of the most badass ninjas around, very strongly resembles a shark. He has pale blue skin, small and round white eyes, gill-like facial markings under his eyes, gills on his shoulders, and sharp triangular teeth. His sword is even named Samehada, meaning "shark-skin". He even becomes a shark-ray-man hybrid when he merges with Samehada.

One of the many minor stories in the event comic Fear Itself featured Amadeus Cho, the second Power Man, Thunderstrike, X-23 and Anya Corazón teaming up (at Amadeus' request) to save Honolulu from an army of shark men in a vril-powered Nazi flying battleship.
Sub-Mariner: Tiger Shark is a former Olympic swimmer mutated into a human-shark hybrid by the Mad Scientist Dr. Dorcas.
X-Men:
There's a minor X-Men member named Shark Girl. She can turn into a humanoid shark form at will, but even in human form she has sharp teeth and a raw fish-intensive diet.
The Arc Villain of the 1985 Nightcrawler mini-series is Shagreen the Sorcerer, a humanoid shark Evil Sorcerer from another dimension.

Pathfinder: Adaros are a species of monstrous humanoids resembling large, burly merfolk based on sharks, with a tall crest on their heads and backs and multiple rows of sharp teeth. They are intensely malevolent and very aggressive, generally seeing other sapients as just prey to be hunted. They can also communicate telepathically with regular sharks and give them simple commands to follow.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Shark men are among the varieties of were-creatures. One of them is the darklord of Saragossa, a domain in Ravenloft consisting of a Derelict Graveyard of wrecked ships tangled in kelp and sargassum.
The Sahuagin are sometimes treated as such due to being scaly aquatic humanoids with sharp teeth who like eating other sentients, their affinity for sharks, and having the typical "blood-in-water = frenzy" trait.

The Batman villain named "The Great White Shark" (introduced in Arkham Asylum: Living Hell) resembles a shark man, but has no inherit powers, shark-like or otherwise; his name comes mainly from the fact he stole millions from his company's clients (thus being a "shark"), and that as a newcomer to Arkham, the other inmates call him a "new fish". His shark-like appearance came from a combination of frostbite and mutilation while incarcerated in Arkham.

Palworld has the Water-elemental Pal Gobfin, a miniature version of this. According to their Paldeck entry, Gobfin used to be large and powerful aquatic Pals, but due to food scarcity they evolved to live on land into a small and weak Pal. There's also a Fire-elemental variant called Gobfin Ignis, which are Gobfin that somehow managed to unlock Fire powers by simply walking a lot to literally burn off their calories.

One group of villains that appears in three different Batman animated series is the Terrible Trio, three thieves who wear head-covering masks representing three different animals, including a vulture, a fox, and a shark. Their backstories differ in each series. In Batman: The Animated Series, they're ordinary rich masked men who commit crimes for fun, while in the The Batman, they're a group of university students who mutate themselves into therianthropic humanoid animals (including a hammer-headed shark man). The same formula is used in Batman: The Brave and the Bold when Batman and his friend/rival Bronze Tiger battle a group of animal-masked martial artists, who not only are billionaires but try to use a magical artifact to turn themselves into monstrous versions of the animals they represent, one of them transforming into a muscular but more generic shark man.

Hungry Shark Evolution has a subversion of this trope. Shark people do exist, but they turn out to be a very valuable prey of the playable shark, and will run like a bat out of hell ashore whenever they spot you. However, when they get finally chomped (which isn't that easy, considering they are extremely fast), they yell the Wilhelm Scream.

The pirate shark Jonathan "Johnny" Jones and his crew, which consists entirely of much smaller shark men called Bandana Blues and Bandana Reds, from Super Mario RPG. Subverted if one looks closely, as there is an eye inside Johnny's mouth, indicating that the shark is actually a costume. The Switch remake also suggests that the costume is actually the hide of a shark he fought in his youth.

Shark people played a large role in one episode of the second series of American Dragon: Jake Long where a bubbly shark woman asked Jake for help protecting her and Neptune's trident (which she kept in her stomach both to keep the weapon from falling into the wrong flippers and because of her nature as an all-consuming predator). The episode's one-time villains were a group of delinquent shark men and their leader, Tiburon (all consisting of different shark species), who desired the trident so they could flood the world. The shark woman's compulsive eating was the show's Running Gag.

Greta from Library of Ruina is a Distortion in the form of a pale, bulky, 6'3' shark woman with Too Many Mouths all over her body, all seemingly flashing their own Slasher Smiles. A member of the infamous Eight Chefs before leaving them for the Reverb Ensemble, she's a boisterous and very proud cannibalistic chef who delights in inflicting as much suffering onto her ingredients under the belief it enhances the flavor of her dishes. Most of Greta's dialogue either involves cooking or murder and her first on-screen appearance is her musing on how to prepare the impaled bodies of the Thumb before being reminded by Argalia to run it back with Jae-heon first.

Naruto:
Kisame Hoshigaki from the original manga, a member of the terrorist/mercenary group Akatsuki and one of the most badass ninjas around, very strongly resembles a shark. He has pale blue skin, small and round white eyes, gill-like facial markings under his eyes, gills on his shoulders, and sharp triangular teeth. His sword is even named Samehada, meaning "shark-skin". He even becomes a shark-ray-man hybrid when he merges with Samehada.
The previous wielder of Samehada, Fuguki Suikazan, had a similarly shark-like appearance.
In Boruto, Shizuma Hoshigaki (from the same clan as Kisame) also has shark-like teeth and gill-like facial markings, plus pale gray skin, though he's not quite as inhuman-looking as his predecessor. Not surprisingly, he also goes on to acquire Samehada.

One Piece: Fishmen and merfolk are some of the most plot-relevant non-human races, and many of them have the characteristics of sharks. These include:
Arlong, who leads the first crew of fishman pirates we see in the story. His name and appearance seems to be a Visual Pun that works in multiple languages — the character is a literal Loan Shark, and "Ah-long" is a word for Loan Shark in some Chinese languages. He's based off of a sawshark.
Then there's Jimbei, a whale-shark man who was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. His name comes from the word jinbeizame, or whale shark. Interestingly, he was first mentioned very early on in the series as the Straw Hats were coming to Arlong, and was even on the same crew as him. Later on in their histories Jimbei was also the one who secured Arlong's release from prison (as part of the deal of becoming a Warlord), unintentionally unleashing him upon East Blue.
In the Fishman Island arc the main antagonists were mostly shark-based fishmen. There's the Big Bad Hody Jones (great white shark), whose motivations were heavily inspired by Arlong. His crew includes Zeo (Japanese wobbegong), Dosun (hammerhead shark), and Daruma (cookiecutter shark). Captain Vander Decken IX, the arc's secondary Big Bad, is a four-legged Japanese bullhead shark or nekozame (catshark). On the mermen side we have Prince Fukaboshi (fuka is another word for shark) and Madame Shyarly (a shortfin mako, and half-sister to Arlong).
There are other, unrelated shark-based fishmen and merfolk around the world, and they are related to Emperors. There's Namur, a shark fishman and commander of the 8th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates. Then there's Charlotte Praline, a half hammerhead-shark mermaid and 21st daughter (and overall 47th child) of Big Mom.

The Batman villain named "The Great White Shark" (introduced in Arkham Asylum: Living Hell) resembles a shark man, but has no inherit powers, shark-like or otherwise; his name comes mainly from the fact he stole millions from his company's clients (thus being a "shark"), and that as a newcomer to Arkham, the other inmates call him a "new fish". His shark-like appearance came from a combination of frostbite and mutilation while incarcerated in Arkham.
The Shark from Green Lantern. A man-eating tiger shark who prowled off the shore of Coast City, the Shark was mutated into a humanoid form and granted psychic powers after being exposed to alien radiation. The Shark originally ate fear, not flesh, though he was changed to an actual maneater later during The Dark Age of Comic Books.
From Infinity, Inc., Carcharo is a mutant, a human born with shark-like characteristics after his mother was experimented on during pregnancy by the insane Dr. Love. Carcharo's mother tried to drown both herself and her baby when she first saw what she had given birth to, but he survived thanks to his gills and grew up in the ocean. As an adult, Carcharo, driven by hatred and power lust, causes chaos on the coast of California.
King Shark (originally) from Superboy (1994). Born in Hawaii, Nanaue is a humanoid shark. His father is "The King of All Sharks" — also known as the Shark God.
Wonder Woman (1942): Sharkeeta is a mermaid created out of a shark by Gerta von Gunther who becomes an enemy of Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman (1987): During "The Witch and the Warrior", Circe turns Tempest into a shark-human mashup with a shark's upper body and humanoid legs.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
In an issue of Tales of the TMNT, it was eventually revealed that the slain worm-animated clone of the Shredder had been brought back to life as one of these.
In a story unrelated to the one above, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures featured time-travelling Shark Man Armaggon as a nemesis for the future version of the turtles. Armaggon would go on to have several more appearances in various Turtles media including other comics, video games, and the 2012 Nickelodeon series.

X-Men:
There's a minor X-Men member named Shark Girl. She can turn into a humanoid shark form at will, but even in human form she has sharp teeth and a raw fish-intensive diet.
The Arc Villain of the 1985 Nightcrawler mini-series is Shagreen the Sorcerer, a humanoid shark Evil Sorcerer from another dimension.

In the Two More Eggs short "Best Movie", Cheerful Child Hector tries bravely to describe the plot of a movie he can't really remember and might be making up. The bad guys, he tells us, are a gang of "shark mans..." with Wolverine Claws coming out of their leather gloves.
In the later cartoon "QblePon", Hector describes a round of the titular Collectible Card Game interrupted when the other kid accidentally played a "base'm'ball card" for a player on a team called the Sharkmans.

Codex Inversus: The Sharkmen are a tribe of Beast Folk that lives beneath the southern seas. They don't consider other species to be people; to them, anything that isn't a sharkman is just a smart animal, and can therefore be food.

Stanley, an NPC in the background of the "Anti-Skullgirl Labs" stage in the fighting game Skullgirls, is one of these. Rather than bestial-looking, however, this fellow is dressed in a lab coat and spectacles and appears to be debating with another scientist. It's not terribly surprising, as there is a well-known race in the story which he appears to belong to, the Dagonians.

Harley Quinn (2019): King Shark shows up as a main character. Unlike his other incarnations (and most depictions of shark men in general), he's very intelligent, social, and friendly. Before signing on with Harley, he worked as a web design expert and is also shown to have extremely good engineering skills. And sometimes he eats people.

In Fairy Tail, Torafuzar "The Dark" of Tartaros is a member of the guild's Nine Demon Gates who is essentially a shark demon, with his head and arm blades resembling fins and being an Olympic swimmer. His specific Curse, Tenchi Kaimei, creates a wave of black water that submerges his enemies and will poison them to death if they don't drown first. Unlike most shark stereotypes, however, he's a No-Nonsense Nemesis who takes no real pleasure in killing humans and just sees it as a job. For a final bit of fun, Torafuzame is Japanese for "Zebra Shark".

SpongeBob SquarePants doesn't really have shark-man hybrids, just very anthropomorphized sharks with limbs and clothes.
In "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired", SpongeBob's replacement driving instructor is a Drill Sergeant Nasty Australian shark.
The spokesman for "Anchor Arms" (rubber gloves with inflatable muscles)... which SpongeBob gets suckered into buying.
A recurring character is a rather nerdy shark.

Warhammer 40,000:
A race of aliens known as the Sarharduin who resembled anthropomorphic Great Whites. They're not a playable faction, but they do get a few models as they often hire themselves out as mercenaries to Imperial factions who don't take the Absolute Xenophobe bit of the Imperial Cult too seriously.
The Carcharodons chapter of the Adeptus Astartes are named and themed after a genus of sharks. Their gene seed is prone to mutations that give their marines dark, glossy eyes, pale flesh, sharp teeth and at least one example of rough flesh around the joints comparable to shark skin.

A one-shot alien character from Paperinik New Adventures is an Ergonian, a race coming from the same solar system as the recurring villains, the Evronians. While the latter are, essentially, a tailless duck version of a Xenomorph, the former look identical, only with green skins, arm fins and a large dorsal fin on their hunched bodies, sharp teeth in their bills and gills on the side of their neck. However, Evronians are ruthless invaders who drain emotions from their victims to make them into mindless slaves, Ergonians, despite their appearence, aren't an aggressive folk.
