The invention relates to a trailer coupling for a motor vehicle (90), comprising a coupling arm (20). The coupling arm (20) has a coupling element (27), in particular a coupling ball (27A), and is pivotally mounted on a mounting (11), which is fixed or can be fixed to the motor vehicle (90), between a use position (G) and a non-use position (N) by means of a pivot bearing (30). In the use position (G), which is provided for suspending a trailer (AK) or securing a load carrier (LT) to the coupling element (27) of the coupling arm (20), the coupling arm (20) protrudes further rearwards from the rear (95) of the motor vehicle (90) than in the non-use position (N), which is provided for when the coupling arm (20) is not in use, wherein the mounting (11) has a pivot bearing section (32A) for the pivot bearing (30), and a coupling arm bearing element (50) which supports the coupling arm (20) is pivotally mounted on the pivot bearing about a pivot axis (D). The trailer coupling (11) has a fixing device (80) for fixing the coupling arm (20) at least in the use position (G), and the fixing device (80) has a fixing element (81) that is movably mounted relative to the coupling arm bearing element (50) and the mounting (11) between a fixing position (F), in which the fixing element (81) rotationally fixes the coupling arm bearing element (50) with respect to the pivot axis (D), and a release position (L), in which the coupling arm bearing element (50) can be rotated relative to the pivot axis (D), by means of a guide (85). In the fixing position (F), the fixing element (81) engages into a formfitting receiving area (82) which is arranged next to the guide (85) and is separate from the guide (85) and which has a mounting receiving section (84) arranged on the mounting (11) and a bearing element receiving section (83) arranged on the coupling arm bearing element (50).
