The available data on Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR), defined here as particles arriving from outer space at total energies above ~ 1018 eV, are briefly reviewed with an eye on constraints imposed by propagation. Since UHECR are most likely charged particles, the intervening galactic and intergalactic magnetic fields, have the potential to affect propagation at energies of hundreds of EeV in a significant way and, therefore, our present knowledge of this subject is also sketched. In fact, provided enough data is collected by new experiments, like Auger and the planned EUSO, UHECR will be in the future an invaluable diagnostic tool for cosmic magnetic fields up to distances of ~ 100 Mpc.
