An internal combustion engine may include a cylinder head having a plurality of intake channels which lead to combustion chambers. A fresh gas distributor may be included for feeding fresh gas to the intake channels. The fresh gas distributor may have a flap arrangement including a flap shaft, which bears at least one flap for controlling the intake channels. The flap shaft may be mounted such that the flap rotates about a flap rotation axis. The fresh gas distributor may have a housing flange securing the fresh gas distributor to the cylinder head. The flap arrangement may be arranged in a region of the housing flange in a distributor housing of the fresh gas distributor. The cylinder head may have a recess, into which the fresh gas distributor is inserted in a region of the flap arrangement.
