The fuel injection valve (1) for the intermittent injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine has a valve housing (12) that defines a longitudinal axis (14) and is provided with a high-pressure chamber (16). The connecting part (20) of the valve housing (12) has two identically formed high-pressure connections (22, 24) for high-pressure fuel lines. The two identically formed high-pressure connections (22, 24) are arranged in a common connecting face (30′) in such a way that said high-pressure connections are oriented in the same direction and the connection axes (22′, 24′) thereof run parallel to each other. In the interior of the valve housing (12), the high-pressure connections (22, 24) are connected to each other and to the high-pressure chamber (16).
