We present a deep wide field Hα imaging survey of the central regions of the two nearby clusters of galaxies Coma and Abell 1367, taken with the WFC at the INT 2.5m telescope. We determine for the first time the Schechter parameters of the Hα luminosity function (LF) of cluster galaxies. The Hα LFs of Abell 1367 and Coma are compared with each other. Typical parameters of φ ≈ 100.00±0.07 Mpc-3, L *≈ 1041.25±0.05 erg sec-1 and α ≈ -0.70±0.10 are found for both clusters.
