Recent estimates of magnetic field strengths in T Tauri stars yield values $B=1$--$4\,{\rm kG}$. In this paper, I present an upper limit to the photospheric values of $B$ by computing the equipartition values for different surface gravities and effective temperatures. The values of $B$ derived from the observations exceed this limit, and I examine the possible causes for this discrepancy.
