Given any ${\bf{a}}: = \left( {a_1 ,a_2 , \ldots ,a_n } \right)$ and ${\bf{b}}: = \left( {b_1 ,b_2 , \ldots ,b_n } \right)$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The $\textbf{n}$-fold convex function defined on $\left[ {{\bf{a}},{\bf{b}}} \right]$, ${\bf{a}},{\bf{b}} \in \mathbb{R}^n$ with ${\bf{a}}<{\bf{b}}$ is a convex function in each variable separately. In this work we prove an inequality of Hermite-Hadamard type for $\textbf{n}$-fold convex functions. Namely, we establish the inequality \begin{align*} f\left( {\frac{{{\bf{a}} + {\bf{b}}}}{2}} \right) \le \frac{1}{{{\bf{b}} - {\bf{a}}}}\int_{\bf{a}}^{\bf{b}} {f\left( {\bf{x}} \right)d{\bf{x}}} \le \frac{1}{{2^n }}\sum\limits_{\bf{c}} {f\left( {\bf{c}} \right)}, \end{align*} where $\sum\limits_{\bf{c}} {f\left( {\bf{c}} \right)} : = \sum\limits_{\mathop {c_i \in \left\{ {a_i ,b_i } \right\}}\limits_{1 \le i \le n} } {f\left( {c_1, c_2, \ldots ,c_n } \right)}$. Some other related result are given.
