We present the results of 4 simultaneous observations of Cygnus X-1 by Ginga and OSSE. The X-ray/gamma-ray spectra can be described by an intrinsic continuum and a component due to Compton reflection including an iron K-alpha line. The intrinsic spectrum at X-ray energies is a power-law with a photon spectral index of Gamma=1.6. The intrinsic gamma-ray spectrum can be phenomenologically described by either a power-law without cutoff up to 150 keV, and an exponential cutoff above that energy, or by an exponentially cutoff power law and a second hard component.
