A motor vehicle lock including a detent mechanism with a catch and a pawl arrangement. The catch may be pivoted between an open position, a primary closed position and a secondary closed position, which secondary closed position is situated between the open position and the primary closed position. The pawl arrangement, in a blocking state, blocks the catch in the primary closed position and in the secondary closed position, and may be moved into a release state to release the catch. The pawl arrangement comprises a primary pawl, in the blocking state, in blocking engagement with the catch, and a secondary pawl in blocking engagement with the primary pawl. The blocking state, the secondary pawl may be lifted to release the primary pawl, such that the primary pawl may be lifted to release the catch.
