Results of IRAS pointed observations in four infrared wavelength bands (12, 25, 60, and 100 microns) of the LMC are presented. Maps are shown with orthogonal scan directions, and a source list containing 1823 infrared sources is extracted from the data. Comparison with the IRAS Point Source Catalog (PSC) shows that wenty-eight entries in this catalog are spurious. All 49 entries in the IRAS Small Scale Structure Catalog (SSS) in the LMC are confirmed. Eight hundred and two new infrared sources, not included in either the PSC or in the SSS are found. The LMC infrared source list and the infrared maps are compared to other object lists. Three LMC globular clusters and 57 SAO stars have been identified, and infrared emission has been detected from the direction of 13 planetary nebulae. Infrared emission has been detected from four Radcliffe LMC-stars and five out of ten small size supernova remnants. In general, there is a good correlation of infrared emission with the distribution of H II regions and dark clouds.
