The '''deep transverse metacarpal ligament''' (also called the '''deep transverse palmar ligament''') is a narrow fibrous band which runs across the palmar surfaces of the heads of the second, third, fourth and fifth [[metacarpal]] bones, connecting them together.

It is blended with the [[palmar metacarpophalangeal ligament]]s.

Its palmar surface is concave where the flexor tendons pass over it; behind it the tendons of the [[interosseous muscles of the hand]] pass to their insertions.
