The zygomaticotemporal nerve or zygomaticotemporal branch (temporal branch) is a small nerve in the face. It is derived from the [[maxillary nerve]]. It runs along the [[orbital lateral wall]] in a groove in the [[zygomatic bone]], receives a branch of communication from the [[lacrimal nerve]], and passes through the [[zygomaticotemporal foramen]] in the zygomatic bone to enter the [[temporal fossa]].
