A landing gear for an aircraft having an axle carried by a strut, the axle including a rotatably-mounted wheel and a drive device for rotating the wheel about a rotation axis. The drive device can have a motor mounted at one end of the axle for transmitting a rotational torque to the wheel, a body projecting out of the motor and snugly received in the axle, and at least a first harness extending along the body and connecting the motor to at least a first coupler carried by a free end of the body to cooperate with a second coupler of the landing gear to supply the motor with power. The second coupler received in an opening formed in the axle at the junction between the strut and the axle, the opening extending along an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the wheel.
