The pharyngeal branches of ascending pharyngeal artery are small branches of the ascending pharyngeal artery.

They are three or four in number. Two of these descend to supply the Constrictores pharyngis medius and inferior and the Stylopharyngeus, ramifying in their substance and in the mucous membrane lining them.
