Recent results on the high-energy extragalactic background radiation suggest that it arises from the superposed emission of unresolved point sources. Seyfert galaxies and blazars have been identified as viable source classes at X-ray energies and high gamma-ray energies, respectively. The situation is less clear in the ~0.1 - 10 MeV transition region, where a variety of source populations, among which are supernovae and blazars, are expected to contribute. We present an estimate of the contribution of FR I radio galaxies to the extragalactic gamma-ray background around 1 MeV, based on the FR I radio luminosity function and the high-energy emission properties of the Faranoff-Riley class I radio galaxy Centaurus A.
