In human anatomy, the inguinal region refers to either the groin or the lower lateral regions of the abdomen. It may also refer to:


 * Conjoint tendon, previously known as the inguinal aponeurotic falx, a structure formed from the transversus abdominis insertion into the pecten pubis
 * Granuloma inguinale, a bacterial disease characterized by ulcerative genital lesions that is endemic in many less developed regions
 * Inguinal canal, a passage in the anterior abdominal wall which in men conveys the spermatic cord and in women the round ligament
 * Inguinal falx, the conjoined tendon of the obliquus internus and transversus muscles
 * Inguinal hernia, a protrusion of abdominal-cavity contents through the inguinal canal
 * Direct inguinal hernia, a type of inguinal hernia with a sac that is medial to the inferior epigastric vessels
 * Indirect inguinal hernia, a hernia that results from the failure of the embryonic internal inguinal ring after the testicle has passed through it
 * Inguinal ligament, a ligament that runs from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine
 * Inguinal lymph node a type of lymph node in the inguinal region
 * Deep inguinal lymph nodes, three to five deep lymph nodes that are located medial to the femoral vein and under the cribriform fascia
 * Superficial inguinal lymph nodes, ten superficial lymph nodes that form a chain immediately below the inguinal ligament
 * Inguinal orchiectomy, a surgical procedure to remove a testicle
 * Inguinal ring, the two openings of the inguinal canal
 * Deep inguinal ring, the entrance to the inguinal canal
 * Superficial inguinal ring, a triangular opening that forms the exit of the inguinal canal
 * Inguinal triangle, a region of the abdominal wall, also known by the eponym Hesselbach's triangle
 * Lateral inguinal fossa, a shallow concave stretch of peritoneum on the deep surface of the anterior abdominal wall
 * Medial inguinal fossa a depression located within the inguinal triangle on the peritoneal surface of the anterior abdominal wall
 * Reflected inguinal ligament, a triangular layer of tendinous fibers formed by the medial fibers of the external abdominal oblique aponeurosis
