The tibia is the shinbone in your lower leg.

Quick Scoop: Where is the tibia?

  • It runs from just below your knee down to your ankle.
  • It’s the larger, stronger of the two lower‑leg bones and sits at the front of your shin.
  • The thinner bone beside it is the fibula, which is more on the outer side of your lower leg.
  • The tibia is on the inner (medial) side of the lower leg, closer to the midline of your body.

So if you tap the hard front of your shin between your knee and ankle—that’s your tibia.
