The superficial parotid lymph nodes are a group of lymph nodes anterior to the ear.

Their "afferent" vessels drain the root of the nose, the eyelids, the frontotemporal region, the external acoustic meatus and the tympanic cavity, possibly also the posterior parts of the palate and the floor of the nasal cavity.

The "efferents" of these glands pass to the superior deep cervical glands.
