The authors give a lower bound for the square of the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a compact and quaternion-Kähler spin manifold with a metric of positive scalar curvature. The result is obtained by introducing quaternion-Kähler twistor operators. In dimensions \(>8\) the bound is smaller than the corresponding value on the quaternionic projective space which is conjectured to be optimal. This is shown in the recent preprint by \textit{W. Kramer, U. Semmelmann} and \textit{G. Weingart} [Eigenvalue estimates for the Dirac operator on quaternionic Kähler manifolds, dg-ga/9709014 (1997), http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/dg-ga/9709014].
