Take a pic with your cell phone and take that with you. If its automotive, try an auto parts store. Maybe you can find something at Home Depot.

I've never seen them at Casa Depot, Automotive shop would be a better bet

It's a ring terminal. The ones for "regular" electrical connections do not have the teeth; that one does so it's probably for a ground connection. You likely need to look at an auto parts store as stated above.

I think if you google "star ring terminal" you will be close.

You probably won't find one in a modern parts store or big box store either. You might be able to find a smooth ring terminal and a star washer that can be put under it though.

The Ace Hardware near me has a whole wall of small bins with these type of electrical fittings.
