A motor vehicle parking lock includes a locking pawl, an actuator shaft, a pawl actuating element and a crank mechanism. The locking pawl is pivotable about a first rotational axis and includes a pawl tooth configured for engagement in a recess of a locking tooth system in a positively locking manner. The actuator shaft is rotatable about a second rotational axis to actuate the locking pawl and reversibly bring the pawl tooth into engagement with the recess. The pawl actuating element is linearly moveable along a translation axis to pivot the locking pawl. The crank mechanism converts rotary motion of the actuator shaft into linear motion of the pawl actuating element. The crank mechanism includes a connecting rod with an articulation point at the pawl actuating element, and a joint that connects the connecting rod and a crank. The joint is arranged between the pawl tooth and the articulation point.
