The observation of diffuse radio emission from a number of rich clusters (including the Coma cluster) indicates the presence of 10-8-10-7 G intracluster magnetic fields. We argue that the survival of such fields places an upper bound on the average flux of monopoles within our galaxy, F <~ 10-18-10-20 cm-2 s-1 sr-1, for monopoles of mass m <~ 10-18 GeV. Although somewhat less secure, this bound is at least 3 orders of magnitude more restrictive than the ``Parker bound'', which is based upon the survival of galactic magnetic fields.
