The origin of ultra‐high‐energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is one of the enduring mysteries of high‐energy astrophysics. To investigate this, we cross‐correlate the recently released  Fermi  Large Area Telescope First Source Catalog (1FGL) with the public sample of UHECRs made available by the  Pierre Auger  collaboration. Of the 27 UHECRs in the sample, we find 12 events that arrived within  of  Fermi  sources. However, we find similar or larger number of matches in 63 out of 100 artificial UHECR samples constructed using positions randomly drawn from the BATSE 4B catalogue of gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs) collected from 1991 until 1996. Based on our analysis, we find no evidence that UHECRs are associated with  Fermi  sources. We conclude with some remarks about the astrophysical origin of cosmic rays.
