We use the recent reanalysis of multi-TeV gamma -ray observations of Mrk 501 to constrain the Lorentz invariance breaking parameter involving the maximum electron velocity. Our limit is two orders of magnitude better than that obtained from the maximum observed cosmic-ray electron energy. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
