A pipette tip made of plastic with an elongated tubular body with a lower opening at the lower end for the passage of liquid and an upper opening at the upper end for clamping onto an attachment of a pipetting device, wherein a seating region for the attachment is present next to the upper opening on the inner circumference of the tubular body, wherein at least one flattened area extending in the axial direction is present next to the upper opening on the outer circumference of the tubular body, the wall thickness of the tubular body gradually decreases in a cross-section through the tubular body, starting from one of the two regions of the tubular body adjoining the flattened area, in the flattened area towards its central region, and the flattened area has in the cross-section through the tubular body a straight or a less strongly curved profile than the adjoining regions.
