Rotation powered pulsars with main sequence star companions may provide a new class of sources of hard γ-rays. Relativistic electrons and positrons in the pulsar wind can inverse Compton scatter target photons from the companion star to energies as high as a few TeV. The best candidate binary pulsar system is PSR B1259-63/SS2883 in which the energy density of target photons at the pulsar reaches a maximum which is ~1012 times that of background targets encountered at isolated pulsars. .
