The invention relates to a trailer coupling for a motor vehicle, comprising a carrier assembly (11), which has a transverse carrier (12) for arranging on the rear of a motor vehicle and a retainer retained on the transverse carrier (12) for retaining a coupling element (41), in particular a coupling arm (42), of the trailer coupling (10), wherein the coupling element (41) is provided for fastening a trailer (95) or a load carrier (195), wherein the retainer (40) is connected to the transverse carrier (12) by means of a tension anchor (61) of a tension anchor assembly (60), in particular a screw, wherein the tension anchor (61) penetrates the transverse carrier (12) along the tension anchor load axis (S) of the tension anchor and loads an abutment surface (50) of the retainer (40), through which abutment surface the tension anchor load axis (S) or an axis parallel to the tension anchor load axis (S) passes, against the transverse carrier (12). According to the invention, the retainer (40) has at least one side support surface, which projects in front of the abutment surface (50) adjacent to the tension anchor (61) and lies against the transverse carrier (12) such that the retainer is supported on the transverse carrier (12) laterally adjacent to the tension carrier (61) with respect to a force acting transversely to the tension anchor load axis (S) of the tension anchor (61).
