The disclosure relates to an air vent (1) for a vehicle which is embodied as a ball vent. The air vent (1) comprises a housing (2), an insert, which is mounted such that it can be rotated and/or pivoted at least partly or in some areas about a mounting and comprises an arrangement for guiding and/or deflecting an air flow flowing through the housing (2), and an element (6) which is disposed centrally in the insert and is connected to the arrangement for guiding and/or deflecting the air flow. The arrangement for guiding and/or deflecting the air flow comprises a roller-shaped or cylinder-shaped inner air guiding element (7), wherein an air channel is formed between a lateral surface (12.2) of the inner air guiding element (7) which faces the element (6) disposed centrally in the insert and a lateral surface (13) of the element (6) disposed centrally in the insert opposite to the lateral surface (12.2) of the inner air guiding element (7). According to the disclosure, it is in particular provided that the lateral surface (12.2) of the roller-shaped or cylinder-shaped inner air guiding element (7) facing the lateral surface (13) of the element (6) disposed centrally in the insert is configured to deflect an air flow through the air channel of the element (6) disposed at least substantially centrally in the insert at least in some regions in the direction of the element (6) disposed at least substantially centrally in the insert.
