In anatomy, the cubital fossa is the area on the front side of the elbow joint of the arm.

The cubital fossa is formed by the lateral border of Pronator Teres (medial boundary), the medial border of Brachioradialis (lateral boundary) and inferiorly by the elbow crease (between the two epicondyles of the humerus). The floor of the fossa is formed by the supinator muscle laterally and the brachialis muscle medially. The roof is formed by skin and fascia and is reinforced by the bicipital aponeurosis.

It contains (lateral to medial): T - Tendon of biceps A - Brachial Artery N - Median Nerve

The brachial artery bifurcates at apex of the cubital fossa into radial and ulnar arteries.

During blood pressure measurements, the stethoscope (usually the bell side) is placed over the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. The cubital fossa is also the area used to palpate for the brachial pulse.
