We report a search for the NH3 (J,K) = (1,1) inversion line in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the Parkes 64–m telescope. Candidate positions were chosen with the help of recent H i data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array and published 12CO data from the Swedish–ESO Submillimetre Telescope. No detections of NH3 in emission were found at the positions surveyed. Upper limits are approximately 25 to 74 mK.
