The present invention discloses a fuel vapor filter for a tank ventilation device of a motor vehicle, wherein the fuel vapor filter has a filter housing with a receiving space for receiving a filter material for at least temporarily binding fuel vapors. The filter housing has a charging opening for the introduction of fuel vapors into the receiving space and a ventilation opening for the ventilation of the receiving space. The fuel vapor filter has a diverting device which is arranged in the receiving space and which serves for diverting a fluid flow between the charging opening and the ventilation opening. The diverting device is arranged in a region between the charging opening and the ventilation opening or in a region between the charging opening and a passage opening of a fluid channel fluidically connected to the ventilation opening.
