The inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm is a nerve found in humans and other animals. It is also called the inferior lateral brachial cutaneous nerve. It is a branch of the radial nerve that provides sensory and vasomotor innervation to the lower, lateral aspect of the arm.{{cite journal|first1=Li |last1=Sun|first2= Brian K |last2=Park|first3= Salil |last3=Gupta|first4= John T |last4=Capo|first5=Richard S |last5=Yoon|first6=Frank A |last6=Liporace|title=Anatomic variant of the inferior lateral cutaneous branch of the radial nerve during the posterior approach to the humerus: a case report|journal=Patient Safety in Surgery|volume=9|issue=16|date=2015|page=16|doi=10.1186/s13037-015-0063-8|pmc=4429343 |pmid=25972922 |doi-access=free }}
