In human anatomy, the cerebral veins are blood vessels in the cerebral circulation which drain blood from the cerebrum of the human brain.

They are divisible into external (superficial cerebral veins) and internal (internal cerebral veins) groups according to the outer or inner parts of the hemispheres they drain into.

The superior cerebral veins on the upper side surfaces of the hemispheres drain into the superior sagittal sinus.

The internal cerebral veins are also known as the deep cerebral veins and drain the deep internal parts of the hemispheres.
