A planet carrier of a planetary gearbox has a first contact surface and a second contact surface. The first contact surface and/or the second contact surface are divided by a connecting straight line running through the planet carrier axis of rotation and the planet gear axis of rotation into a first contact surface portion and a second contact surface portion. The first contact surface portion encloses a first angle with the connecting straight line, the second contact surface portion encloses a second angle with the connecting straight line, the first angle and the second angle lie in a plane perpendicular to the planet carrier axis of rotation, and the first angle and the second angle are unequal and at least one of the angles is greater than 90°. The invention further relates to a planetary gearbox having a planet carrier of this kind and at least one planet gear.
