The present invention discloses a knitting needle for a flat knitting machine. The knitting needle consists of two identical needle jacks, i.e. left needle jack and right needle jack; the needle jacks are flaky, a plurality of gauges are arranged between the two needle jacks, and the two needle jacks are integrally fixed by a plurality of connecting pins; the needle jack comprises a head and a main body, and the gauges and the connecting pins are located on the main body; the head of the needle jack is provided with a pointed front end, the part behind the front end is recessed downwards to form a first groove, the first groove is extended backwards and protruded upwards to form a needle ear in the shape of an acute angle, and the needle ear is extended backwards and recessed downwards to form a second groove; the second groove is smaller than the first groove; and the thickness of the needle ear is smaller than those of the other parts of the needle jack. The knitting needle of the utility model is simply structured, totally consists of fixed components, and can be obtained by the steps of manufacturing the needle jacks, the gauges and the connecting pins by means of wire cutting, stamping or other methods while machining and then assembling these components, thus the machining process is simple and convenient and low in error possibility.
