In human anatomy, the median cubital vein (or median basilic vein) is a superficial vein of the upper limb. It connects the basilic and cephalic vein and is often used for venipuncture (taking blood). It lies in the cubital fossa superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis.

There exists a fair amount of variation of the median cubital vein. More commonly the vein forms an H-pattern with the cephalic and basilic veins making up the sides. Other forms include an M-pattern, where the vein branches to the cephalic and basilic veins.

BACKGROUND: The origin of the flexor pollicis longus muscle can vary, causing compression of the anterior interosseous nerve in the forearm. The topographic relationship of the flexor pollicis longus to the median and anterior interosseous nerves must be considered when these nerves are decompressed
