We derive a calculable upper limit on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in perturbatively valid supersymmetric theories with arbitrary Higgs sectors. We assume a supersymmetry spectrum around or below 1 TeV and the standard model gauge symmetry, but place no restrictions on the Higgs sector. We estimate [ital m][sub [ital h]][sup 0][lt]146 GeV for [ital M][sub [ital t]][approx gt]100 GeV from all effects except possible additional heavy fermions beyond top (which could increase the limit approximately 12 GeV per extra family); for 60[approx lt]100 GeV we find [ital m][sub [ital h]][sup 0][lt]156 GeV. In most explicitly constructed models the lightest Higgs boson mass does not saturate the upper limit.
