The superficial cervical lymph nodes are lymph nodes that lie near the surface of the neck.

Some sources state simply that they lie along the external jugular vein,cite book |author=Ellis, Harold; Susan Standring; Gray, Henry David |title=Gray's anatomy: the anatomical basis of clinical practice |publisher=Elsevier Churchill Livingstone |location=St. Louis, Mo |year=2005 |pages=936 |isbn=0-443-07168-3 |oclc= |doi=] while other sources state that they are only adjacent to the external jugular vein in the posterior triangle, and they are adjacent to the anterior jugular vein in the anterior triangle.cite book |author=Dalley, Arthur F.; Moore, Keith L. |title=Clinically oriented anatomy |publisher=Lippincott Williams & Wilkins |location=Hagerstown, MD |year=2006 |pages=356 |isbn=0-7817-3639-0 |oclc= |doi=]

They can be broken down into:

* superficial anterior cervical lymph nodes
* superficial lateral cervical lymph nodes
