Fuel injection valve

A fuel injection valve (1), in particular an injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, with a valve needle (3) that cooperates with a valve seat surface (6) to form a sealing seat, and with an armature (20) acting on the valve needle (3), has an armature stop surface (34) facing away from the valve seat as a first stop surface. A counter-stop surface (35) serves as a second stop surface that cooperates with the first stop surface. The first or the second stop surface (34, 35) has an elastic damping element (37, 38) in a recess (36) that projects over the respective stop surface.
