We have determined the composite luminosity function (LF) for galaxies in 60 clusters from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The LF spans the range $-22.5<M_{b_{rm J}}<-15$, and is well-fitted by a Schechter function with ${M_{b_{rm J}}}^{*}=-20.07pm0.07$ and $alpha=-1.28pm0.03$ ($H_0$=100 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$, $Omega_M$=0.3, $Omega_Lambda$=0.7). It differs significantly from the field LF of cite{mad02}, having a characteristic magnitude that is approximately 0.3 mag brighter and a faint-end slope that is approximately 0.1 steeper. There is no evidence for variations in the LF across a wide range of cluster properties. However the LF of early-type galaxies in clusters is both brighter and steeper than its field counterpart. The differences between the field and cluster LFs for the various spectral types can be qualitatively explained by the suppression of star formation in the dense cluster environment, together with mergers to produce the brightest early-type galaxies.
