The canine fossa is a depression lateral to the incisive fossa of the maxilla in the musculoskeletal anatomy of the human head. It is larger and deeper than the comparable incisive fossa, and it is separated from it by a vertical ridge, the canine eminence, corresponding to the socket of the canine tooth.
