The author gives a pinching theorem for closed submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector field in unit spheres. The theorem is formulated in terms of the length of the second fundamental form and a constant depending only on the dimension and codimension of the submanifold. In certain csaes, the estimate given in the theorem is optimal.
