A hinge for spectacles comprising a joint body (5) used as a hinge axle, which body forms a coaxial circumferential groove (7) for receiving an eye (9) of a side jaw (8) and is rotationally rigidly held between two legs (4) of an end (2) of a side, which legs are mutually connected at least at one end and extend on either side of the circumferential groove (7). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the joint body (5) consists of two preferably disk-like parts (6) whose abutting surfaces (s) extend transversally to the hinge axle in the zone of the circumferential groove (7).
