contents This article presents the first search for neutrino-induced neutral current coherent single-photon production (NC coherent 1$γ$). The search makes use of data from the MicroBooNE 85-tonne active volume liquid argon time projection chamber detector, situated in the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), with an average neutrino energy of $\langle E_ν\rangle \sim 0.8$ GeV. A targeted selection of candidate neutrino interactions with a single photon-like electromagnetic shower in the final state and no visible vertex activity was developed to search for the NC coherent 1$γ$ process, along with two auxiliary selections used to constrain the dominant background from NC$π^0$ production. With an integrated exposure of $6.87 \times 10^{20}$ protons on target delivered by the BNB, we set the world's first limit for this rare process, corresponding to an upper limit on the flux-averaged cross section of $σ<1.49 \times 10^{-41}\text{cm}^2$ at 90\% C.L.
