The jugular process is a quadrilateral or triangular bony plate projecting lateralward from the posterior half of the occipital condyle; it is a part of the lateral part of the occipital bone.

The jugular process is excavated in front by the jugular notch of occipital bone. The lateral side of the jugular process is divided from the medial side by the intrajugular process of occipital bone.

The jugular process serves as the insertion of the rectus capitis lateralis.
