A fuel pump for an internal combustion engine, comprising a housing ( 14 ) in which a piston ( 16 ) is guided. A working chamber is confined in areas by the piston ( 16 ). An eccentric shaft or camshaft acts on the piston ( 16 ) on its end furthest from the working chamber. A prestressing element ( 30 ) loads the piston ( 16 ) against the eccentric shaft or camshaft. In order to reduce the fabrication costs of the fuel pump, the invention provides that a support member ( 40 ) that is separate from the piston ( 16 ) is provided, which said support member is interconnected with the end region ( 36 ) of the piston ( 16 ) closest to the eccentric shaft or camshaft, and against which the prestressing element ( 30 ) bears.
