A ball-and-socket joint, preferably for chassis suspensions and/or steering mechanisms of motor vehicles, is presented, which has a ball pivot pin (1), which is accommodated rotatably and tiltably in a joint housing (8) with one of its free ends with a spherical joint area (3). The other free end of the ball pivot pin (1) is fixed to a body part. The ball-and-socket joint has a stop device for limiting the tilting movement of the ball pivot pin (1) in the joint housing (8), which comprises a stop element, which is arranged in the bottom area (11) of the joint housing (8) rotationally symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the sphere and cooperates with the end-side joint area (6) of the ball pivot pin (1). Corresponding to a first embodiment variant, the ball-and-socket joint has according to the present invention an arch projecting spherically over the bottom area (11) of the joint housing (8) as a stop element; a second solution variant provides for the stop element in the bottom area (11) of the joint housing (8) to have a hollow spherical shape, the radius of the hollow spherical shape being greater than the radius of the spherical shape of the joint area of the ball pivot pin (1).
