We prove the following generalisation of Schauder's fixed point conjecture: Let C1,...,Cn be convex subsets of a Hausdorff topological vector space. Suppose that the Ci are closed in C=C1∪...∪ Cn. If f:C→ C is a continuous function whose image is contained in a compact subset of C, then its Lefschetz number Λ(f) is defined. If Λ(f)≠0, then f has a fixed point.
