A connecting rod for an internal combustion engine may include a connecting rod shank, a large connecting rod eye, and a small connecting rod eye with a pin bore. An end face of the small connecting rod eye may also include at least one overhang, the overhang running parallel to a central axis of the pin bore over its entire width transverse to the central axis of the pin bore. An edge of the overhang may also run parallel to the central axis of the pin bore.
