Parotid lymph nodes are lymph nodes found near the parotid gland.

More specifically, it can refer to:
* deep parotid lymph nodes
* superficial parotid lymph nodes

There is often argument over the existence of these parotid lymph nodes in the medical profession (particularly students) as their anatomy is often overlooked. These are not to be mistaken for the parotid gland also.
