The contribution of the light-by-light diagram to the g factor of an electron and muon bound in a Coulomb field is obtained. For an electron in a ground state, our results are in good agreement with the results of other authors obtained numerically for large Z. For relatively small Z our results have essentially higher accuracy as compared to the previous ones. For muonic atoms, the contribution is obtained with a high accuracy in the whole region of Z.
