A brake pad for a disc brake, in particular for a utility or commercial vehicle, including a pad retaining spring which is designed as an arc-shaped leaf spring, can deflect radially and is fastened by way of a hood to a lining carrier plate which supports a friction lining material. The hood is formed as a separate component and has a section which is U-shaped in cross-section. A web of the hood connects its limbs which limbs are guided in parallel and at both sides of the lining carrier plate. The web bears against the pad retaining spring. The pad retaining spring is designed such that an opening is formed through which a limb of the hood is guided.
