The iliac fascia (or Abernethy's fascia[citation needed]) is the fascia overlying the iliacus muscle.[1]

Superiorly and laterally, the iliac fascia is attached to the inner aspect of the iliac crest; inferiorly and laterally, it extends into the thigh to unite with the femoral sheath; medially, it attaches to the periosteum of the ilium and iliopubic eminence near the linea terminalis, and blends with the psoas fascia and - over the quadratus lumborum muscle - with the anterior layer of thoracolumbar fascia.[1]

The iliac fascia overlies the femoral nerve, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.[1]
