Ten fields in the Large Magellanic Cloud have been searched for faint, new clusters on deep plates taken with the CTIO 4-m telescope. The result is a catalog of 255 newly-discovered clusters. Equatorial coordinates, sizes, and estimates of the B magnitudes of the brightest stars are given for the clusters. The mean diameter for all LMC clusters in the fields is 7.7 pc. There is a conspicuous correlation between size and distance from the center of the LMC, with relatively many more large clusters found in the remote outer parts of the LMC. The total cluster population of the LMC is reevaluated to be ≡4200.
