Far-infrared background fluxes from various cosmic sources are predicted. These fluxes lie near the high-frequency side of the blackbody radiation spectrum. The sources could account for a significant fraction of the background radiation at frequencies above 400 GHz, which might be misinterpreted as a 'Comptonization' distortion of the blackbody radiation. Particular attention is paid to the possible contributions from external galaxies, from rich clusters of galaxies, and from galactic dust emission.
