The '''zygomatic process of the [[maxilla]]''' ('''malar process''') is a rough triangular eminence, situated at the angle of separation of the anterior, zygomatic, and orbital surfaces.
* ''In front'' it forms part of the anterior surface.
* ''Behind'' it is concave, and forms part of the [[infratemporal fossa]].
* ''Above'' it is rough and serrated for articulation with the [[zygomatic bone]].
* ''Below'' it presents the prominent arched border which marks the division between the anterior and infratemporal surfaces.
