If the present dark matter in the Universe annihilates into Standard Model
particles, it must contribute to the gamma ray fluxes detected on the Earth.
Here we briefly review the present constraints for the detection of gamma ray
photons produced in the annihilation of branon dark matter. We show that
observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the galactic center by EGRET,
Fermi-LAT or MAGIC are below the sensitivity limits for branon detection.
However,future experiments such as CTA could be able to detect gamma-ray
photons from annihilating branons of masses above 150 GeV.
