A folding tongue trailer hitch for installation on a towable vehicle provides the ability to store the hitch while not in use for aesthetic and space efficiency purposes. A vehicle attachment frame is connected to the towable vehicle, and a hitch support frame is hingedly connected to the vehicle attachment frame by a hitching linkage. A hitching element is connected to the hitch support frame opposite the hinging linkage and may be any pertinent towing element. An angular lock releasably secures the hitch support frame in the lowered position for towing, utilizing receiving slots in the vehicle attachment frame and the hitch support frame into which locking rods may be inserted to lock the hitch support frame in the lowered position. A first and second lateral arm of the hitch support frame are positioned symmetrically about a central arm of the hitch support frame for structural support.
