We show that the recently proposed weak gravity conjecture\cite{AMNV0601} canbe extended to a class of scalar field theories. Taking gravity into account,we find an upper bound on the gravity interaction strength, expressed in termsof scalar coupling parameters. This conjecture is supported by sometwo-dimensional models and noncommutative field theories.Comment: version published in JHE
