In human anatomy, iliac artery refers to several anatomical structures located in the pelvis:


 * Common iliac artery - forms at terminus of the aorta.
 * External iliac artery - forms when the common iliac artery bifurcates, continues as the femoral artery at the inguinal ligament.
 * Internal iliac artery - forms when the common iliac artery bifurcates, supplies the perineum and sexual organs.
