We compute the two-point angular correlation function $w(\theta)$ for asample of $\sim$ 1700 galaxies to a magnitude-limit equivalent to $R \sim 29.5$using a catalog derived from the Hubble Deep Field images. A non zero value of$w(\theta)$ is measured down to $R=29.0$. The amplitude of $w(\theta)$ at thebright magnitude limit ($R \sim 26$) is consistent with previous ground-basedobservations. At fainter magnitudes the clustering amplitude continues todecrease but at a slower rate than that predicted by the power law$w(1'')\propto 10^{-0.27R}$ observed for shallower samples. The observed$w(\theta)$ over the magnitude range $20
