The lumbar plexus is a nervous plexus in the lumbar region of the body which forms part of the lumbosacral plexus. It is formed by the divisions of the first four lumbar nerves (L1-L4) and from contributions of the subcostal nerve (T12) which is the last thoracic nerve. Additionally the ventral rami of the fourth lumbar nerve pass communicating branches the lumbosacral trunk to the sacral plexus.
