A funiculus is a bundle of one or more nerve fascicles .^[1]

Funiculi in the spinal cord are portions of white matter.^[2] Examples include:

- Anterior funiculus of the spinal cord
- Lateral funiculus of the spinal cord
- Posterior funiculus of the spinal cord
- Funiculus solitarius of the medulla
- Funiculus separans
