A rotor bearing of a wind turbine, in particular a rotor bearing having an improved and simplified axial introduction of force into the inner ring. It is specified for this purpose that the inner ring of the rolling bearing has a greater axial length with respect to the axial length of the outer ring of the rolling bearing by a section of the inner ring that corresponds to the axial length of the outer ring and has the length being adjoined by additional sections, wherein the axial lengths of these sections differ in size.
