We prove the following result. Let

be a convex compact subset in a topological vector space, and $T:C\to C$ a convex continuous mapping. (See Definition 1.1.) Then

has a fixed point. Moreover, continuous mappings that can be approximated by convex continuous mappings also have the fixed point property.
