The urogenital diaphragm is an incorrect historic term describing a structure or structures in the perineum. The term is still in occasional use despite not appearing in Terminologia Anatomica.

The diaphragm is said to consist of the urethral external sphincter and the deep transverse perineal muscle. The entity has had numerous other synonomous definitions in surgical and anatomic literature including:
- perineal membrane
- triangular membrane
- deep transverse perineal muscle
