The upper bound on the value of the surface gravity, g_s, for neutron stars with equations of state respecting v_sound≤c, is derived. This bound is inversely proportional to the maximum allowable mass M_max, and it reads g_s≤1.411x10¹⁵(M_max/M_☉)^–1cm/s². It implies an absolute upper bound 7.4x10¹⁴cm/s² if one uses the 2σ lower bound on the neutron mass measured recently in 4U1700-37, 1.9M_☉. A correlation between g_s and the compactness parameter 2GM/Rc² for baryonic stars is analyzed. The properties of g_s of strange quark stars and its upper bounds are discussed using the scaling properties of the strange-star models.
