The incentral triangle is the Cevian triangle of a triangle with respect to its incenter . It is therefore also the triangle whose vertices are determined by the intersections of the reference triangle's angle bisectors with the respective opposite sides.
Its trilinear vertex matrix is

It is perspective to every anticevian triangle (Kimberling 1998, p. 157).
It is the cyclocevian triangle with respect to Kimberling center .

The circumcircle of the incentral triangle is the incentral circle.
The following table gives the centers of the incentral triangle in terms of the centers of the reference triangle that are Kimberling centers .
