The middle thyroid vein ({{langx|la|vena thyreoidea media}}) collects the blood from the lower portion of the thyroid gland. It receives tributaries that drain the larynx, and trachea. It passes anterior to the common carotid artery to reach and drain into the internal jugular vein.{{Cite book |last=Standring |first=Susan |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1201341621 |title=Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice |date= |others= |year=2020 |isbn=978-0-7020-7707-4 |edition=42 |location= |pages=593 |oclc=1201341621}}
