A colic flexure is a flexure (a 'bend') in the colon.

There are two colic flexures in the transverse colon.

• The right colic flexure is adjacent to the liver, and is therefore also known as the 'hepatic colic flexure'.
• The left colic flexure is near the spleen, and is known as the 'splenic flexure'.
