The present invention relates to a quick and easily released hitch pin used for securing the coupling of a trailer or similar implement onto a trailer hitch. The hit ch pin comprises a guide member, pin member and handle. Linkage means provided in t he pin member connecting the guide member and the handle, allows for the handle to coordinately move the guide member between a first position, where the handl e and guide member are substantially aligned with the pin member, and a second position where the handle and guide member form an angle to the pin member. When the handle and guide member are in the first position, the hitch pin can be easi ly inserted through a hitch orifice. Once positioned in the hitch orifice, the handle ca n be physically, or by the force of gravity, moved to the second position to limi t lateral movement of the hitch pin through the hitch orifice.
