The superficial parotid lymph nodes or paraparotid lymph nodes are a group of lymph nodes of the head situated superficial to either parotid gland (either superficial to or deep to the parotid fascia). They may sometimes be grouped together with the anterior auricular lymph glands. They are situated just anterior to the tragus of the ear.
