The anterior tibial vein is a vein in the lower leg.
In human anatomy, there are two anterior tibial veins. They originates and receive blood from the dorsal pedis veins, on the back of the foot and empties into the popliteal vein.
The anterior tibial veins drain the ankle joint, knee joint, tibiofibular joint, and the anterior portion of the lower leg.
