Viscerocranium may refer to one of two related concepts:
In human anatomy and development, viscerocranium usually refers to elements of the skull that are not part of the braincase (as opposed to the neurocranium), and which can be subdivided into:
- The membranous viscerocranium, comprising the facial skeleton
- The cartilaginous viscerocranium, comprising the splanchnocranium
In comparative anatomy of vertebrates, viscerocranium usually refers specifically to the splanchnocranium (as opposed to the endocranium and dermatocranium).
