In human anatomy the acromion (from Greek: akros highest ōmos shoulder plural: acromia) is a bony process on the scapula (shoulder blade). Together with the coracoid process it extends laterally over the shoulder joint. The acromion is a continuation of the scapular spine and hooks over anteriorly. It articulates with the clavicle (collar bone) to form the acromioclavicular joint.
