The invention relates to a fifth wheel coupling comprising a coupling plate (10) and a camera (30), wherein the coupling plate (10) is supported on a towing vehicle by means of bearing elements (20), a centrally arranged locking region (11) for receiving a king pin (41), a support surface (12) at least partially laterally surrounding the locking region (11) for supporting a trailer (40), as well as an insertion opening (13) running radially from the locking region (11), which is bordered in a conically widened section (13a) on both sides by insertion flanges (14a, 14b). The object of the invention is to mount the camera (30) in a position in the region of the fifth-wheel coupling with the lowest possible risk of soiling and damage. This is achieved by the camera (30) being arranged on one of the insertion flanges (14a).
