The invention is directed at a motor vehicle lock (1), wherein a lock latch (2), a pawl (3), which is assigned to the lock latch (2), and a lock striker bracket (4), which lock striker bracket (4) comprises a latch bar (4a) and a frame bar (4b), are provided, wherein the lock latch (2) can be brought into an open position and into at least one latching position, wherein the lock latch (2), when in one of the latching positions, is or may be brought into holding engagement with the latch bar (4a), wherein a closing cycle of the motor vehicle lock (1) comprises moving the lock latch (2) from the open position to the at least one latching position, wherein the pawl (3) may fall into at least one engagement position, in which it is in blocking engagement with a preliminary latching detent (6) or a main latching detent (7) of the lock latch (2) for blocking the lock latch (2) in its preliminary latching position or its main latching position, wherein the pawl (3) may be deflected into at least one release position, in which it releases the lock latch (2), wherein the motor vehicle lock (1) comprises a braking arrangement (9) arranged such that a contact surface (10) of the braking arrangement (9) can be brought into a braking engagement with a counterpart (11) such that a contact force exerted by the contact surface (10) provides a braking force against movement of the lock latch (2). The motor vehicle lock (1) is characterized in that the braking force is acting between the lock latch (2) the frame bar (4b).
