A piston for an internal combustion engine may include a piston head and a piston skirt. The piston head may include a piston crown, a circumferential fire land, a circumferential ring belt having a plurality of ring grooves, and a circumferential cooling duct. The cooling duct may be open in a direction away from the fire land and may be at least partially closed by a closure element. The cooling duct may include a cooling duct bottom and a cooling duct ceiling. The piston skirt may have at least two piston bosses connected to one another via at least two running faces. At least one running face may have an inner face connected via a connecting land to an underside of the piston head.
