We present results on a search for evidence of gamma-ray emission associated with galaxy clusters by cross-correlating high Galactic latitude EGRET data with Abell clusters. Our results indicate a positive correlation of unresolved gamma-ray emission with clusters of galaxies in the local Universe. Extrapolating this measurement and assuming no evolution we conservatively estimate that ˜ 1-10% of the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB) could originate from clusters with z<1. Future gamma-ray missions like GLAST will have the spectral and spatial resolution to confirm whether galaxy clusters can be directly detected in gamma-rays.
