This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically a car mudguard, including a mudguard body that is detachably connected to the outer frame of a car wheel. The mudguard body is located behind the wheel along the direction of travel. One side of the mudguard body is provided with a mudguard groove and a connecting piece, with the mudguard groove facing the wheel. The connecting piece is located at the opening of the mudguard groove and is detachably connected to the outer frame of the car wheel. This provides a car mudguard whose main body includes a mudguard groove and a connecting piece. The mudguard groove provides a recessed, channel-shaped space, which, compared to a straight plate structure, better matches the trajectory of mud, water, and stones thrown by the rotating wheel. Simultaneously, when mud and water kicked up by the wheel impact the mudguard, the groove functions as a directional collection channel, guiding splashes into the groove to accumulate, rather than sliding along the surface of the traditional straight plate structure to other parts of the car body, thus significantly reducing the probability of mud and water contaminating the car body.
