The '''posterior sternoclavicular ligament''' is a band of fibers, covering the posterior surface of the sternoclavicular joint. It is attached above to the upper and back part of the sternal end of the [[clavicle]], and, passing obliquely downward and medialward, is fixed below to the back of the upper part of the [[manubrium sterni]].
It is in relation, in front, with the [[articular disk]] and [[synovial membrane]]s; behind, with the [[Sternohyoideus]] and [[Sternothyreoideus]].
