Abstract: A general spherical inversion theorem for polyharmonic functions of order $m$ has been obtained, and it reduces to the Kelvin transformation for $m = 1$. For biharmonic functions $\left ( {m = 2} \right )$, the present theorem has been applied to generate an explicit solution which satisfies the prescribed homogeneous boundary conditions on the surface of a sphere.
