A dual-fuel fuel injector, having: a first nozzle needle for discharge of liquid fuel via a first nozzle arrangement; and a multiplicity of second nozzle needles, arranged around the first nozzle needle and controlled in terms of axial stroke, for discharge of gaseous fuel via a second nozzle arrangement. Each of the second nozzle needles has for controlling the stroke thereof, a respective control chamber in the injector which can be charged with and relieved of pressure by a control fluid. The dual-fuel fuel injector has an annular duct which can be charged with and relieved of pressure by the control fluid. The dual-fuel fuel injector is designed such that, for controlling the stroke of the second nozzle needles, the control chambers for the second nozzle needles are charged with and relieved of pressure by the control fluid proceeding from the annular duct.
