They are attractive sites for gamma-ray production, since relativistic particles in the jet should traverse locally strong both photon and matter fields. In this review we discuss whether some of the unidentified gamma-ray sources detected by the EGRET instrument of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory might be associated with microquasars. Relevant models for gamma-ray emission in such binaries are described and prospects for the detection of microquasars with instruments of new generation are briefly evaluated.Invited talk presented at the V Microquasar Workshop, Beijing, June 2004. 12 pages, 7 figuresAstrophysicstext
